You can now listen, courtesy ABC radio, to streaming audio of the Overland discussion between Christos Tsiolkas and Antony Loewenstein. Check it out here. The ABC glosses it thus:
Public intellectuals and the unpopular stance
The literary magazine, Overland recently invited two public intellectuals − Christos Tsiolkas and Antony Loewenstein − to discuss the consequences of saying unpopular things, something they are both quite familiar with. Christos is a well known Melbourne based author, whose latest novel, The Slap, is about the aftermath of a man hitting another person’s child at a barbeque.
Antony Loewenstein is a Sydney based journalist − he is best known as a Jewish critic of the actions of the Israeli government − expressed in his book − My Israel Question, and his blog http://antonyloewenstein.com/*
