For over fifty years, Tom Keneally has been writing about everything that makes us tick – and the contentious, disputed land that is ‘Australia’. In his new collection of thought-pieces, he moves seamlessly between deep questions of our past and moments of private revelation. A Bloody Good Rant is exactly what it says it is – a bit of ratbaggery, some judicious hindsight, and a generous serve of wisdom. The author of The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith, Schindler’s Ark and Corporal Hitler’s Pistol gets a few things off his chest.

Participants

Thomas Keneally began his writing career in 1964 and has published thirty-three novels since, most recently Corporal Hitler’s Pistol.

He has also written several works of nonfiction, including his three-volume series Australians, and his recent memoir, A Bloody Good Rant.
