Richard Flanagan’s novels have won national awards and worldwide acclaim, while his social justice journalism has galvanised public opinion – and sparked social movements.
In fact and fiction alike, Flanagan is one of our foremost ambassadors of ideas.
His highly anticipated sixth novel, The Narrow Road to the Deep North, is about the cruelty of war, the tenuousness of life and the impossibility of love.
As one day in a Japanese slave labour camp builds to its horrific climax, Dorrigo Evans battles and fails in his quest to save the lives of his fellow POWs, a man is killed for no reason, and a love story unfolds.
