Alexis Wright on activism, Indigenous land rights and breaking down literature stereotypes


Listen Later

Alexis Wright is one of the most highly-regarded Australian authors in recent times, winning both the Miles Franklin Literary Award and the Stella Prize - twice.


Her work is challenging the traditional publishing world and asking some tough questions.


But her passions extend far beyond writing.


In this episode, Julia explores Alexis’ early beginnings as a young activist, her lifelong dedication to Indigenous land rights and her concerns around global warming, as well as her literary success.


Show notes:


Alexis’ latest novel Praiseworthy is published by Giramondo and is available at all good book stores.
