Essays & Letters

A stunning new collection of essays from Australia's leading public intellectual.

This provocative and challenging book features essays on Donald Trump's alleged links to Russia, Malcolm Turnbull's leadership, the ideas driving Islamic State and a searing critique of Jonathan Franzen's views on climate change activists.
