Thomas Keneally at the Edinburgh International Book Festival

The Booker Prize-winning Australian author of Schindler’s Ark,
Thomas Keneally comes to the Edinburgh International Book
Festival 2019 having woven another masterpiece in The Book of
Science and Antiquities. Ancient human remains are found in
Western Australia, causing controversy: was the man Aboriginal,
or does he signify an even older culture? Documentary maker
Shelby investigates, sure that ‘Learned Man’ connects the
planet’s earliest inhabitants with our troubled environmental
future. Hear Keneally discuss the novel live with Lesley
McDowell.
