The Final Draft podcast is all about books, writing and literary culture. We're dedicated to exploring Australian writing, looking into the issues that drive our storytelling to discover more from the books you love.

These are the stories that make us who we are.

Patrick Holland is a novelist and short story writer. He is the author of seven books, most notably The Mary Smokes Boys (2010), which was longlisted for the Miles Franklin Award.

Patrick’s new novel is Oblivion.

In a bar that wouldn’t let you in, sit men you can’t afford to drink with. These men make the deals that shape our world. 

One such man is on the make. He’s seeking a fortune that will allow him to escape and is conscious that this is not a game for old men. 

A few more months and he might escape into his own oblivion.

Final Draft is produced and presented by Andrew Pople
