Page Turners: My Country with David Marr

There’s nothing better than relaxing during summer with a good book. And now we have your reading list sorted with some of this season’s hottest page turners.

Work your way through the biggest non-fiction releases on the Library’s summer reading list, get your questions ready and join host Astrid Edwards for a conversation with the author themselves.

This week, we’ll be joined by… David Marr.

Widely regarded as one of Australia’s most influential commentators, Marr is joining us to discuss the updated edition of his essay collection, My Country.

In My Country, Marr curates some of his most powerful writing on religion, sex, censorship and the law; striking accounts of leaders, moralists and scandalmongers; and elegant ruminations on the arts and the lives of artists.

Hear directly from the reporter about what inspired the book, why he decided to create an updated edition and more. Plus, get the chance to ask any of your burning questions.
