Not Quite White in the Head
About this book
'For thousands of years, global narratives have had, as their explicit task, the expansion of the human heart.' Melissa Lucashenko is one of our most admired and awarded novelists. She is renowned for writing about ordinary Australians and the extraordinary lives they lead. This timely collection of essays and journalism – published together for the first time – spans two turbulent decades. With her trademark wit and wisdom, Lucashenko reflects on being caught in a siege, on the marginalised lives of prisoners and the urban poor, on Blak identity, Australian literature and on meeting her writing idol. Her non-fiction, like her novels, is deeply engaged with politics, activism, culture and social (in)justice. Not Quite White in the Head offers unprecedented access to one of the nation' s greatest writers as she invites us into the conversations that truly matter.
