About this episode
It was 2014 when Bruce Pascoe went from being a prolific, yet relatively unknown writer, to public enemy #1 in Australia’s culture wars. That was the year that Bruce published his now infamous book, Dark Emu, and its re-examination of accepted historical accounts of pre-invasion Australia. On this episode of Read This, he joins Michael for a discussion about his new novel Imperial Harvest and shares why he still believes we need the messiness of democracy.
