AWW23: Truth in Fiction - Paul Daley

Chair: Jack Latimore


Journalist Paul Daley has long been preoccupied by the myths of
white Australia and the collective amnesia when it comes to our
shameful national past. His latest novel, Jesustown, set in
the mid-20th century in a remote Aboriginal community, is a study
of the multi-generational effects of Australian colonial
violence. He talks to Jack Latimore about
why Jesustown had to be a novel and what fiction can
contribute to truth.
