New from the only author ever to have won both the Booker Prize and the Baillie Gifford Prize (Britain's leading prize for non-fiction): Heresies, a dazzling collection of writing, essays, articles and speeches by Richard Flanagan.

From Manus to MONA to birds to the Black Summer, from the destruction of our natural world to the hope offered by Indigenous Australia to the growing corrosion of democracy, from Salman Rushdie to the Segal Report, family and love, Flanagan’s non-fiction writings carry the author’s trademark elegance, subversive wit, and humanity.

This showcase of Richard Flanagan’s heretical brilliance over twenty years speaks to the heart of our troubled times now. It demonstrates, again and again, the moral urgency of literature.

For the launch of the new book, Richard will be in conversation with Peter George for a discussion of many of the most pressing issues of our time.

Peter George is a former journalist, president of the Neighbours of Fish Farming, and now the Independent MP for the electorate of Franklin.
