BAD Sydney Crime Writers Festival 2024: Sins of the Fathers with David Marr

What is the impact of discovering murder amongst members of your own family tree. What would you do? Hide it or reveal it? How would you deal with your own feelings of shame and guilt in the light of what has been done by those whose genetic inheritance you carry? Two writers tell their story. Matthew Condon is writing about his great uncle and David Marr’s Killing for Country exposes hidden secrets. They talk to Larissa Behrendt.
