In conversation with biographer and critic Hermione Lee, Carey reflects on how Australia has forfeited democracy by ‘brown-nosing’ the CIA, why privacy should be an inalienable right, and what it is like to write about Australian politics while living in New York. He also considers Amnesia, his latest novel, in the context of one of the most acclaimed bodies of work in contemporary fiction, including Booker winners Oscar and Lucinda and True History of the Kelly Gang.
This event is hosted jointly with the Australia / New Zealand Festival of Literature and the Arts, and Intelligent Life magazine.
