ABC 22- minute Video Conversation here

An excellent and thoughtful discussion

"David Malouf is one of Australia's most celebrated writers. His novels have won many literary awards - but sadly, he says he may not write another. To mark his eightieth birthday, he decided to write an essay trilogy, dealing with themes close to his heart. The final instalment is called 'Being There', and it explores his personal response to music, art, words and culture."
