Author Description

Overland is Australia's most exciting literary magazine - and the only major journal to publish from an explicitly progressive perspective. Since 1954, it has featured essays, fiction, poetry, reviews, comments and artwork from the nation's best writers and thinkers, from Patrick White to Cate Kennedy. Now in its fifty-ninth year, Overland continues to highlight ideas and authors you won't find anywhere else. In edition 213, Overland looks at: Rediscovering Afghanistan's white dervish; fighting rape culture in South Africa; the cult of Bulgakov's Master and Margarita; Arnold Zable talking to Alexis Wright; rock music in Mali; the ownership of Keating's Redfern speech; writers and self-promotion and prize winning short stories.
