In dieser Folge blicken Victoria und Irene auf die Europäischen Literaturtage zurück, die im November 2023 zum Thema „Menschen und andere Tiere“ in Krems stattgefunden haben. Ähnlich manchen Spezies im Tierreich haben auch wir heuer eine ausgedehnte Winterpause gemacht und melden uns mit dieser Episode voller Elan und mit vielen Plänen für die nächsten Monate zurück. Das Thema der Literaturtage, das Verhältnis von Tier und Mensch, ist höchst aktuell und die hochkarätig besetzte Veranstaltung verdient ein Resümee. Es ging dabei um die Frage, ob Vernunft, Sprache oder moralisches Verhalten dem Menschen vorbehaltene Fähigkeiten sind ebenso, wie darum, ob und wie der Blick der Tiere dem Menschen Helfen kann, die Erde zu retten. Die Fragen wurden aus dem Blickwinkel der Literatur, aber auch der Philosophie und Ethik gestellt. Unter anderem sind Michael Köhlmeier, Anne Sophie Meincke, Hilal Sezgin, Mara-Daria Cojocaru, Michal Hvorecký, Sophia Kimmig, Sibylle Grimbert, Antoine Jaccoud, Teresa Präauer, Bodo Hell und Philippe Sands der Einladung des künstlerischen Leiters der ELit, Walter Grond, nach Krems gefolgt. Sie alle und ihren Blick auf das Mensch-Tier-Verhältnis stellen wir euch in unserem Gespräch kurz vor, ganz speziell aber die vier Autorinnen, die wir im Rahmen eines „Booktalks“ am 18.11. im Klangraum Krems Minoritenkirche moderieren durften: Roberta Dapunt, Christina Walker, Tara June Winch und Kinga Tóth. Die Gespräche mit ihnen sind in der Podcastfolge zu hören.

Action Items - US Campaign for Palestinian Rights Action Items - Jewish Voices for Peace November's prompt is to read a book about death and Corinne's pick is Jose Saramago's Death With Interruptions. This book is about an unnamed country where suddenly one New Year's, death stops happening. It reads like a textbook at times, going over logistical issues and government responses, with a sprinkling of regular people's reactions to no one dying. And then, in the third act, death enters the picture. Content warning: death Our next book discussion will be The Yield by Tara June Winch. You can find it at your local bookstore or library and read along with us. And to finish off the year, in December we'll be reading Ice by Anna Kavan and Y/N by Esther Yi.

HELLOOOOO BOOK CLUB PALS! This month, we're discussing the 2020 Miles Franklin Literary Award winner, The Yield, by Tara June Winch. The novel tells the story of a woman who has returned home after the passing of her Poppy, Albert Gondiwindi, and felt like her life had passed her by ever since her sister, Jedda, vanished as a child. August's perspective is interspersed with that of Albert, via his almost diary-like Wiradjuri dictionary entries, and a letter from 1915, written by the German reverend Ferdinand Greenleaf, who established a mission in Massacre Plains. Today on the show, Mich, Zara and Annabelle talk about the characters they adored, the scenes most vivid for them, and the importance of the Wiradjuri language. Correction: An earlier edit of this episode said the fictional town of Massacre Plains was based in the Northern Territory of Australia. This is incorrect - the town is based in New South Wales.

With special guest: Tara June Winch… in conversation with Bill Kable The Yield is a big book that in Paul Kelly’s words “sings up language, history, home, blood – all the important stuff” with its focus being on an area of some 500 acres in western New South Wales. This is a novel by Indigenous author Tara June Winch that she has been working on for the last fourteen years. It tells of the experiences of the fictional Goondiwindi family based on the real history of Aboriginal people in Australia. The novel is set in Massacre Plains and one of the places is called Poisoned Waterhole Creek. These are real place names. The town in the story is somewhat ironically called Prosperous. Podcast (mp3)

Wiradjuri writer Tara June Winch's Miles Franklin Award winning novel “The Yield” is about the power of voice and language in the face of secrets, silence and suppression. Set on the banks of the fictional Murrumby River, “The Yield” revolves in time around the Gondiwindi family, primarily Albert ‘Poppy' Gondiwindi and his granddaughter August Gondiwindi. Albert uses his last days to construct a Wiradjuri dictionary with a knowledge of country gained from his ancestors. While August, who fled to England to escape the painful burden of the past, returns to Australia to attend her grandfather's funeral and to confront the realisation that she hasn't escaped anything, that the past is ever-present, and that only by giving that past a voice can their ancestral lands be saved from a mining company. Winch's novel is one in which distinctive voices are determined to put a stop to centuries of dispossession, and in many ways “The Yield” does just that. Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include: "The Yield" by Tara June Winch "The Sea is History" by Derek Walcott “The African Trilogy” by Alan Moorehead “The Death of Ivan Illych” by Leo Tolstoy “The Dictionary of Lost Words” by Pip Williams Twitter: https://twitter.com/thesamepagepod_ Email: seamusandblake@gmail.com IG: https://www.instagram.com/on.the.same.page.podcast/ ---------- #bookpodcast #podcast #indigenouswriter #book #novel #indigenousaustralian #theyield #tarajunewinch #milesfranklinaward #theseaishistory #derekwalcott #theafricantriology #alanmoorehead #thedeathofivanillych #leotolstoy #thedictionaryoflostwords #pipwilliams #literature #books #novels #podbean #spotifypodcasts #applepodcasts #audible #books #novels #audibleau #lit #onthesamepage #whatareyoureading #literaryfacts #podbean

In this episode, two of Australia's best authors discuss the tenderness and strength of Indigenous masculinity with Paul Daley
Tara June Winch is the Miles Franklin winning author of The Yield and a proud Wiradjuri woman. I reached out to her after seeing her speak on an emotional, all-female panel at the Sydney Writer's Festival earlier this year where she brought the room to tears with her confronting and - to my mind - true comments about Australian identity; "being Aussie is a mental health crisis”. In this conversation we explore accessing mania as part of the creative process, not having to be broken to be creative, questioning identity and we break down the real meaning of being Australian. Tara is currently living in France working on her next book, unable to return to Australia due to the pandemic. We have been emailing each other - pen pal-style since our chat!

On this week's Cultural Frontline we consider the pleasure and the pain of literature in lockdown from the perspective of both writers and readers. Meron Hadero, the first Ethiopian writer to win The Caine Prize for African Writing, tells presenter Datshiane Navanayagam how she found refuge on the page in the pandemic and why she is drawn to write about displacement. The award-winning Australian novelist Tara June Winch reveals the impact of the coronavirus on her writing routine. The British actor and Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke discovered the essays of the late British author Jenny Diski during lockdown. Emilia speaks to poet and academic Dr Ian Patterson, who was married to Jenny, to discuss the power of cultural escapism in isolation. And, after revisiting her own early work during the pandemic, the renowned Russian author Ludmila Ulitskaya looks back on the radical reading that made her a writer in the Soviet Union.

Amanda and guest Jeff discuss books where the couple DOESN'T end up together, Indigenous reads, and pre-18th century history! Subscribe to the podcast via RSS, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Stitcher. FEEDBACK Wicked Plants and The Drunken Botanist by Amy Stewart (rec'd by Angie) QUESTIONS 1. I'm looking for a book for a friend. She loves non fiction books but that is not my area of expertise. She likes two types of books: Books that give advice on how to improve your life (some of her favorites include Atomic Habits, Your Life or Your Money, Digital Minimalism, 101 Ways to Go Zero Waste) Books that widen your perspective on the world through the lens of others (favorites include Becoming, This is Going to Hurt, I am Malala) Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Quinn 2. After spending a few years as a librarian, I feel that books are becoming more of a commodity I trade in than things that bring me joy. I am wishing for that amazing experience of reading a knock-your-socks-off good book for the first time. I really need a book that I can find completely immersive and full of interesting, complex characters who have wonderful adventures. Some of my favorite books are The Three Musketeers, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Anne of Green Gables, Harry Potter, A Court of Thorn and Roses series, Persuasion, Good Omens, and The Beekeeper's Apprentice. I tried The Magicians and it wasn't for me, and I don't particularly care for thrillers or horror. Other than that, I"m open to anything that is astonishingly good! -Melissa 3. I'm a deeply romantic person and it seems that the only thing that I have been reading lately has been romantic books where the main characters end up together. I want to mix things up and I was hoping that you guys could recommend a realistic book about a couple breaking up; I want a book where the couple realizes that they’re not right for each. If you guys can’t find a book like that because I couldn’t, I just want a book that will give me a good cry; I want a book that is emotional, relatable and that will tug reader’s heartstrings. Books I have read that are kind of like what I want, that I liked are It ends with us, All the bright places, and All the ugly and wonderful things. -Erica 4. I’m needing some recommendations for my 8 year old niece. She is a fan of the Lunch Lady series and I want to get her some similar books for Christmas. But I have no idea what to get. She isn’t the biggest reader so I want to encourage her but I’m lost. She’s a tomboy who loves video games (Fortnite), horses, and the Sims. She’s also a strong reader so age range is flexible. Any help would be amazing. -Sarah Kay 5. I have another request. I have read Tracks and Future Home of the Living God, both by Louise Erdrich and loved not only the skillful writing, but how she explores elements of Indigenous culture and spirituality (rather than magical realism), the effect of colonization, and the search or striving to maintain identity. I am already participating in the #ErdrichMedicineReadalong on IG, and will be trying to read her other books, too. Do you have more suggestions for great books by Indigenous authors from anywhere in the world? Please no Alexie. Also, I know I am in the minority here, but I didn't care for most of the prose of Tommy Orange, though I did like the nonfiction parts of There There and a few of the chapters/characters in the book, primarily the ones that were more fleshed out. -Kristin 6. In all my surveying of literature i have found no equal to the monumental Cormac McCarthy. Even an Angela Carter or a Bruno Schultz, jaw-dropping as they are, cannot touch his evokation of the wondrously dark intestinality of the world. I am not attached to his southern gothic context; in any genre whatsoever can you point me to another writer who strings words together like him? -ocean 7. I just read Deadly Companions by Dorothy H Crawford, which deals with the history of microbes/diseases and how it affected history and it got me curious about world history before the 1700s. I would love to get some non-fiction recs for books about world history (especially outside of the United Kingdom, which I know a bit about already) before the 18th century.

Tara June Winch knows how to tell a story. In 2006 she released her first novel, Swallow the Air. It won a bunch of awards, and was added to the high school curriculum. Years passed. She released a collection of short stories, but it wasn't until 2019 that she published her follow up. And oh what a follow up it was. The Yield is the tale of two generations, a Language that tells their story, and a connection to culture that stretches back tens of thousands of years. A Wiradjuri woman herself, Tara's novel is about finding lost connection in contemporary Australia, and it blew me away. I'm not alone. The Yield has won a heap of prizes in the past year, including the highest literary accolade in Australia; the Miles Franklin Award. For all of these reasons, I asked Tara to Take 5. With the songs that share her story. Across five classics, this is a profound conversation about identity, empowerment, and what it truly means to find home.

Robin Wall Kimmerer and Tara June Winch ‘When a language dies, so much more than words are lost,' the botanist and writer Robin Wall Kimmerer has said. ‘Language is the dwelling place of ideas that do not exist anywhere else.' In our Broadly Speaking talk on translation and language, we bring together two First Nations writers whose work reflects on Indigenous languages and the languages of the natural world. Kimmerer is a professor of environmental biology at the State University of New York and an enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation. She's also the author of the remarkable bestselling essay collection, Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants. In this podcast, she speaks with acclaimed Wiradjuri writer Tara June Winch, whose Miles Franklin-winning novel, The Yield, is about traditional language and the stories that words contain. Join them as they discuss how living organisms and living languages can connect us to the past and enrich our collective future. The Broadly Speaking series is proudly supported by Krystyna Campbell-Pretty AM and family. We had a few technical problems while trying to record this conversation as an event, scheduled for Tuesday 27 October at 6.15pm – so we rescheduled the discussion to take place exclusively in podcast form.Support the Wheeler Centre: https://www.wheelercentre.com/support-us/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

My personal favorite Goodreads list The Yield is on is Modern Mrs Darcy Podcast Lists. Happy Reading Everyone Today’s Library Tidbit is about familiar spirits. It’s fall Halloween was just a few days ago and seemingly spooky things have been on everyone’s mind. So on today’s tidbit I’m going to dive into what familiar spirits are, their history in different cultures, and why you should never appropriate a different cultures terminology and understanding of them. This last little bit is the reason why I will be using the term familiar and familiar spirit throughout this tidbit as I am mostly European and it is the pan-European term for this concept. I am not going to be going into the practice of witchcraft or be discussing if familiar spirits are real or their morality. A familiar spirit is an entity, animal, plant, or other natural thing, that you form a special bond with. This connection is not a light bond but rather a bond that you feel connects you to something on a spiritual or soul level. This idea is something that exists in cultures and time periods across the world. These familiar spirits exist to guide a person, either teaching them specific magics or guiding them through person life dilemmas and through personal growth. A non-religious familiar might be a centering touchstone that someone finds comfort in because it reminds them of attributes that they share. European traditions mostly use the term familiar or familiar spirit. Native and Indigenous groups have multiple different words but English speakers typically use the word totem to describe all of them. It is important to remember that different tribes will have their own word for this concept. Totem poles are specific to the Pacific Northwest area of the continent of North America, from Alaska to Washington and British Columbia. Spirit Animal is another term used by Native tribes to describe tutelary guides. Totems are one type of spirit animal but used specifically by the Northwest Pacific tribes. However, most of the information about totems that I have just said also applies to spirits animals. In other words, spirit animal is a Native term and should be respected as a Native term. In Norse culture there exists the fylgjur plural, fylgja singular. Across Mesoamerica exists the belief in the nagual and the tonalli or tonal. Some sources will say that they nagual is related to a spirit guide, however, they are more therianthropy. In other words Naguals are shape shifting witches. Tonals, on the other hand, are familiars that are assigned at birth. Tonals are attached to the Aztec horoscope calendar and are guardian spirits. Other words for familiar in other cultures that either have very broad definitions or have characteristics that don’t fit into my tidbit today are spirit, spirit guide, doppelganger, personal demon, spirit companion, ayami and syven. Familiar spirits are deeply personal and often important both religiously and culturally for different people groups. Because of this it is insulting to use language from a culture you are not a part of casually. Unfortunately, due to colonization, most people are too comfortable using words and concepts for themselves that are not part of their cultural heritage. I would encourage everyone to research into their own ancestry and pick a term that is part of their cultural heritage.

August’s perspective is interspersed with that of Albert, via his almost diary-like Wiradjuri dictionary entries, and a letter from 1915, written by the German reverend Ferdinand Greenleaf, who established a mission in Massacre Plains.Today on the show, Mich, Zara and Annabelle talk about the characters they adored, the scenes most vivid for them, and the importance of the Wiradjuri language.Thank you so much to today’s sponsor, JustCo.

I’ve been going through a lot recently with corona and quarantine and everything, and just really need to stop thinking about my own life for a second. Unfortunately, most things I read or watch remind me of myself and my relationships. The only thing that’s been helping is watching Avatar: The Last Airbender and playing Papa’s Bakeria non-stop, lol. I just really need something fun and cute and escapist that I can binge-read and not think about the world. Love, -Maria 2. It is hot hot HOT and I am craving some winter fairy tale magic. (To be fair, I am almost always in the mood for this sort of thing, but it is Very Hot.) I was the Children’s Book Buyer at an indie bookstore until recently, meaning I am quite well-versed in the Middle Grade and YA options, so I’m searching for a recommendation from the adult side of things. While I loved the quiet magical realism of The Snow Child, I’m looking for something more along the lines of The Bear and the Nightingale or Spinning Silver. Thank you thank you! -Hana 3. Hello Get Booked team! Your podcast is one of my absolute favorites – I am an avid listener. Do you have any recommendations for comics, short stories, chapter books, etc. featuring Superman and/or Spiderman for reluctant beginner readers? If possible, I would like to avoid those “easy reader” / “I can read” books. I’d love books that explore these superheroes’ origin stories in a kid-friendly way, in addition to fighting bad guys. The reader I have in mind is 6 years old and will try to read above their level if really interested (but is currently struggling). I told this reader a bit about Superman’s origin story myself like a bedtime story and they were hooked. I’d really like to foster a love for books and reading this way, if possible. -Sel 4. I’m a bookseller in quarantine trying to keep my guilty pleasures book club active and engaged as we have not been able to meet in person since March (we are a notorious loud, slightly tipsy, and chatty group). We read YA, more on the Sarah J Maas end of the scale, and this year we’ve tried to highlight different heritage months in our picks (Black History, Southeast Asian and Pacific Islander, Pride Month, etc). I’m running into trouble finding us something for November, when we’d like to read an Indigenous / First Nations pick. All the ones I have found skew younger or are contemporary, but I’d really like to give them a few Fantasy options. Some picks they’ve loved in the past include THE BONE WITCH and SADIE. We have some members with mental health and PTSD triggers, so please give any content warnings you deem relevant. We try to pick two months in advance so if you can get back to me by September that would be great but if not I’d still love some recs I can pass on to them. Thanks so much! -Faith 5. I have been experiencing a lot of loss over the past few months. That paired with all the pandemic madness and some personal relationship issues I feel like I need a good pick me up book. I’m looking for something that will help me know it is ok to feel what I feel. Maybe something with a lot of feels that I can cry with. Fiction or non-fiction is ok. Just a good emotional book that will help me release some feelings and feel better after reading. -Noelle 6. The All Souls Trilogy is one of my all-time favorites, but I haven’t been able to find anything similar that’s not YA! Fantasy, magic, romance, and a little bit sexy. -Aislinn 7. I am looking for historical fiction for my daughter. She is starting school virtually this year and had a hard time with virtual school in the spring. I am looking to supplement her social studies content with some books that can bring that subject to life for her. This year her curriculum includes history and culture from Latin America, the Caribbean, Canada, Europe and Australia. She is 11 and going into 6th grade. Last year she studied WW1 and WW2, and read a few books on those subjects (Diary of Ann Frank, My Friend the Enemy), so we do not need anything involving that time period in Europe. She loves mysteries, horror, and pretty much every graphic novel I’ve given her to read. Bonus points if my advanced 3rd grader can also read these recs. A few of her favorites are the Nancy Drew series, Bloom by Kenneth Oppel, everything by Raina Telgemeier, El Deafo by Cece Bell, and the Greek Myth graphic novel series by George O’Connor.

Chapter 2: Jamila and Astrid take a look back at Virginia’s Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own (a quote from which serves as the name of the podcast). How does the work stack up in 2020, and what else could we be reading (hint, we should all read Women, Race and Class by Angela Y. Davis and Talkin’ Up to the White Woman by Aileen Moreton-Robinson)?

Tara is a Wiradjuri writer based in France. Her first novel, Swallow the Air, was critically acclaimed and saw Tara named a Sydney Morning Herald Best Young Australian Novelist. Her second book, the collection After the Carnage, was longlisted for the Victorian Premier's Literary Award for fiction, shortlisted for the 2017 NSW Premier's Christina Stead prize for Fiction and the Queensland Literary Award for a collection. Her third novel, The Yield, was released in 2019 and is simply stunning. Tara's Indigenous dance documentary, Carriberrie, screened at the 71st Cannes Film Festival.

Joining me for this episode's online chat is award-winning Melbourne writer, Angela Savage! Angela always wanted to be a writer, but figured she needed to live an interesting life first in order to have something worth writing about. She spent most of the 1990s living and working on HIV projects in Southeast Asia, before returning to Australia, where she alternated between writing fiction and working in the community sector. Her debut novel, 'Behind the Night Bazaar', won the 2004 Victorian Premier's Award for an Unpublished Manuscript, and she won the 2011 Scarlet Stiletto Award for short fiction. Angela holds a PhD in Creative Writing, giving her the Bond villain-like title of Doctor Savage. Her new novel 'Mother of Pearl' was published in 2019 and she is currently the Director of Writers Victoria. Stone Sky Gold Mountain by Mirandi Riwoe Family circumstances force siblings Ying and Lai Yue to flee their home in China to seek their fortunes in Australia. Life on the gold fields is hard, and they soon abandon the diggings and head to nearby Maytown. Once there, Lai Yue finds a job as a carrier on an overland expedition, while Ying finds work in a local store and strikes up a friendship with Meriem, a young white woman with her own troubled past. When a serious crime is committed, suspicion falls on all those who are considered outsiders. Evoking the rich, unfolding tapestry of Australian life in the late nineteenth century, Stone Sky Gold Mountain is a heartbreaking and universal story about the exiled and displaced, about those who encounter discrimination yet yearn for acceptance. Angela loved the description in the book of a dried plum - sometimes called a dried prune - and thought that nothing would pair better with this book than this particular bittersweet delicacy. Swallow the Air by Tara June Winch In 2006, Tara June Winch's startling debut Swallow the Air was published to acclaim. Its poetic yet visceral style announced the arrival afresh and exciting new talent. This 10th anniversary edition celebrates its important contribution to Australian literature. When May's mother dies suddenly, she and her brother Billy are taken in by Aunty. However, their loss leaves them both searching for their place in a world that doesn't seem to want them. While Billy takes his own destructive path, May sets off to find her father and her Aboriginal identity. Her journey leads her from the Australian east coast to the far north, but it is the people she meets, not the destinations, that teach her what it is to belong. Angela loves road trips and suggested that the best pairing for this story is your favourite road trip food, her pick was pies and boy does she know her pie shops! Grief is the Thing with Feathers by Max Porter In a London flat, two young boys face the unbearable sadness of their mother's sudden death. Their father, a Ted Hughes scholar and scruffy romantic, imagines a future of well-meaning visitors and emptiness. In this moment of despair they are visited by Crow - antagonist, trickster, healer, babysitter. This self-described sentimental bird is attracted to the grieving family and threatens to stay until they no longer need him. As weeks turn to months and physical pain of loss gives way to memories, this little unit of three begin to heal. Justine loved this haunting, heartbreaking evocation of grief and of healing. She suggested a chocolate martini as the perfect soothing, creamy pairing needed to help you through it.
This episode I am joined by Leonee Derr, who, for the last 20 years has dedicated her work-life to serving and supporting community - particularly those under-served, under-represented and those most experiencing marginalisation. She has worked in public libraries for the last 14 years with the majority of her advocacy focussed on amplifying voices of youth and young adults. In 2012 she received a scholarship to travel the world gathering evidence, doing research and participating in work placements. Her research explored how physical space and place, architecture and its design, create an atmosphere that signifies inclusion or exclusion to young people. Leonee has used her passion and voice to share important and crucial ideas about radical librarianship, social justice having a place in libraries, the myth of neutrality and safety amongst many other topics around the world presenting at conferences and publishing papers. Most recently, she and 4 other library leaders wrote the paper Who Do We Think We Are? Understanding Diversity in the Victorian Public Library Workforce. Leonee is currently on a sabbatical from public libraries focussing on writing and storytelling to build community in her role as a content producer for a fortune 500 company. Leonee and I talk about issues such as stigma, breaking down barriers and amplifying voices of marginalised groups, uplifiting humanity and reading to understand our past, inform our present and support our future. There is a little passionate swearing involved ...! The pairings: One Hundred Years Of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez A landmark 1967 novel that tells the multi-generational story of the Buendía family, whose patriarch, José Arcadio Buendía, founded the town of Macondo, a fictitious town in the country of Colombia. It chronicles the irreconcilable conflict between the desire for solitude and the need for love—in rich, imaginative prose that has come to define an entire genre known as "magical realism." The Yield by Tara June Winch Knowing that he will soon die, Albert ‘Poppy' Gondiwindi takes pen to paper. His life has been spent on the banks of the Murrumby River at Prosperous House, on Massacre Plains. Albert is determined to pass on the language of his people and everything that was ever remembered. He finds the words on the wind. August Gondiwindi has been living on the other side of the world for ten years when she learns of her grandfather's death. She returns home for his burial, wracked with grief and burdened with all she tried to leave behind. Her homecoming is bittersweet as she confronts the love of her kin and news that Prosperous is to be repossessed by a mining company. Determined to make amends she endeavours to save their land – a quest that leads her to the voice of her grandfather and into the past, the stories of her people, the secrets of the river. Profoundly moving and exquisitely written, Tara June Winch's The Yield is the story of a people and a culture dispossessed. But it is as much a celebration of what was and what endures, and a powerful reclaiming of Indigenous language, storytelling and identity.
Tara June Winch is an award winning Wiradjuri author who has written three books: Swallow the Air, After the Carnage and The Yield, which swept the 2020 NSW Premier's Literary Awards winning in three categories, including Book of the Year.

One of my goals at Final Draft is to present Australian writing and Australian writers in a way that might intrigue and captivate, perhaps challenge but never judge. Having the extraordinary opportunity to meet and discuss with so many literary minds I’d prefer if they hold the stage so that you, the listener can get more of the books you love.I don’t always love every book that I read, but I also understand that many of these books will have readers that love them. I also understand that these books are not written exclusively for my personal edification and so I try to approach them with an open heart.It’s quite difficult then for me to collate a list of the best or select from a certain period books that are more worthy than others. I have huge respect for those who can and I eagerly devour awards list and wrap ups, but I guess I’ve always been a little reluctant. I mean, I read a lot, but nothing close to every single Australian release in a given period so I won’t even pretend to in the entire scope of Aussie writing.This then is a list of books that have personally impacted me this year. They’re all 2019 releases and all Australian; which meant a few books from writers working in Australia missed out because I wanted the list to reflect stories being told about Australia. I’ve also left off some hugely entertaining books because they didn’t move me in the same way as these works haveIt’s a highly unsatisfactory process and I thank you for sticking with me this far! I guess if I could tell you what to read I would say read these works from 2019. They all have something important to say about our world, our country, our lives and our future. They have challenged me and given me tears and troubled sleep, but have also left me with the feeling that reading and being part of a literary community is a very fine thing to be!Alison Whittaker’s BlakworkBlakwork is a collection of Alison Whittaker’s poetry and essay covering personal and social biography, satire and critique. It explores Alison’s life as a First Nations woman, and her experiences as a poet and a lawyer.Alison’s collection and my time speaking with her for Final Draft helped crystallise for me threads of thoughts about the ways in which I read and the impact of that reading. At the beginning of the year I undertook to review the ways Final Draft represented voices in our community. It was important to me that voices of First Nations people as well as queer and other non-white, non-dominant culture writing was featured on the show.In Blakwork and through Alison’s writing I discovered that just having that representation is only a first step. That we read writers from a variety of cultural or otherwise perspectives means nothing if we fail to challenge the dominant colonial lens through which we read. Now maybe what I’m saying doesn’t resonate with you, maybe it makes you feel uncomfortable, maybe you feel like being told how to read is a betrayal of why you engage with literary discussion.For me, I discovered a challenge to decolonise my reading and approach the literature I consume in new ways.Alice Bishop’s A Constant HumA Constant Hum presents a collection of stories exploring the aftermath of bushfire. Across nearly fifty stories the collection looks at the many ways we try to understand and move forward when catastrophic events occur.At the time of A Constant Hum’s release I spoke with Alice and reviewed A Constant Hum I wrote that “The stories are visceral and sensory, opening up a world that the average reader may never experience…” Now mere months later and across the country Australian’s are getting a first hand understanding of fire and its seemingly new place in our summer life.Still many of us will live our city lives without confronting a wall of flames, but none of us are unaffected anymore. Alison’s stories open up a space where stories can be shared and these stories help us begin to make senseChristos Tsiolkas’ DamascusDamascus tells the story of Saul of Tarsus. Saul was a Greek speaking Jew, a tent-maker who some two thousand years ago was met on the road to Damascus by a blinding light and was convinced that he must bring the teachings of the Jewish prophet Jesus to the world.This is a story perhaps well known to many, while others may have little understanding of the tent-maker whose letters came to spread Christianity to the world. In Damascus Christos Tsiolkas takes the story of Saul the man and explores his life and the origins of the early church.Christos’ book was a challenge to me in so many ways.Raised a Catholic, my initial reaction was ‘do I really need to go into these stories that I’d been subject to as part of my youth?’ It is also a departure from the stories of contemporary Australia that many of Tsiolkas’ readers are familiar with; the sort of stories we typically explore on Final Draft. So I resisted initially and squirmed through my early readings…There’s something about Christos’ writing though; visceral and charged, he brought me into a world where religion and social life was fractured and people sought truth amidst falsehood.The book didn’t seek my conversion and there was no road to Damascus moment, but in elucidating an historical moment and revealing characters from their dogmatic caricatures I was able to engage with these stories in a way that showed me more of a world I had long dismissed as irrelevant.Tara June Winch’s The YieldThe Yield is a story of Australia told across three distinct narratives; Albert Gondiwindi is writing a dictionary that he hopes will help revive his language and culture for his family when he dies. August, his granddaughter, is returning to Prosperous House to farewell her grandfather, just as the miners arrive to plunder the land for tin. While through the letters of Reverend Ferdinand Greenleaf we are taken back to the founding of Prosperous House and see exposed the racism and discrimination at the heart of these relations a century earlier.The Yield is quite simply an extraordinary literary work that I wish everyone could read for its style, its linguistic dexterity, its remarkable story and so many more small features that go into holding us as readers transfixed between the pages.It is one of many books that found me this year and challenged my thinking about the ways I read and try to understand my world and place in Australia. I’ve already mentioned Alison Whittaker’s Blakwork and the challenge of decolonising my reading. I’ll also mention here Bruce Pascoe’s Dark Emu and Tyson Yunkporta’s Sand Talk. Amongst these works The Yield stands up as a narrative that engages with the ways we read and understand history and culture and the reckoning that must be had between our colonial invader history and the history and culture of first nations people that was so brutally damaged but not destroyed.Mandaangguwu is the Wiradjuri word for thank you and I’ll say Mandaangguwu again to Tara and all these writers I mentioned (though not all Wiradjuri people).

Another week is over, and here are the highlights from this week on Breakfasters. Sarah, Daniel and Geraldine starts the week by talking about camping, wine and boobies. Melbourne International Film Festival is almost here, and the artistic director Al Cossar stops by to discuss this year’s program. Another artistic director, Marieke Hardy, also visits the studio, but this time the focus is on the Melbourne Writers Festival and their program for 2019. It’s been a week since Geraldine got engaged, so naturally the trio talks about the aftermath and how Geraldine went about telling her dad. The feeling of time slowing down is the basis for some very entertaining stories. And finally, French-based author Tara June Winch is home in Australia for a visit, and talks to Breakfasters about her new novel, The Yield.
In her latest book, The Yield, Tara June Winch winds the Wiradjuri language throughout a tale of loss, longing and discovery. From growing up as a First Nations child in Australia, to travelling across the world and writing award-winning books, to being a single mum in the bustling city of Paris, Tara has lived a life of contrasts. In this interview, she talks about how her wandering spirit deals with living far from the country, and why language is such an important and powerful tool.
