On this episode of The Grapevine, Dr Jessie Moritz, Lecturer in Middle East Studies, at ANU talks to Dylan and Kulja about her article in The Conversation that called for the Australia to do more to aid her friend and colleague Kylie Moore-Gilbert, whose condition is rapidly deteriorating. The Australian academic was arrested by the Iranian government and sentenced to 10 years imprisonment in September 2018 for allegations of spying and has since suffered intolerable conditions without appeal.  Then, award winning Australian author Christos Tsiolkas makes his debut on The Grapevine to discuss some of his essays that have recently appeared in the Griffith Review and The Guardian and how COVID has focused his creativity inwards to explore themes of family, identity, class and prejudice.
