Podcast from ABC Late Night Live
By Phillip Adams on Late Night Live
Don Watson’s career in writing has spanned 40 years and has done much to hold a mirror up to ourselves as a nation, with incisive political, historical and linguistic observations
He is the award winning author of 13 books, including Recollections of a Bleeding Heart: A Portrait of Paul Keating, and The Bush, Travels into the Heart of Australia. His latest really covers the gamut, and is a witty, wise and essential read at this point in time. As the book jacket correctly says; ‘no other writer has journeyed further into the soul of Australia and returned to tell the tale’. The same is also true of his journeys across the United States of America.
Originally broadcast on 19 November 2020.
