About this episode
Australiana is now Fire at Will - your safe space for dangerous conversations.
Journalist. Contrarian. Iconoclast. Intellectual. Provocateur... And one of the most successful novelists of the 21st century.
Lionel Shriver has, in her own words, spent a career courting self-destruction. But she's still standing.
In this no-holds barred conversation with Will, Lionel gives her inimitable take on identity politics, the trans debate, and the manias that continue to afflict society in 2024.
Note: Lionel's dog makes a cameo in the second half of the episode. Apologies on his behalf.
