255 Winter 2024

This issue goes to print on the cusp of a darkening world… Overland 255 is the second issue in a suite of four special editions dedicated to commemorating 70 years of Overland. In this issue, Samuel J Cox interviews Kim Scott on his works True Country (1993) and Benang (1995) in ‘Writing from the South’. Elsewhere, Juliet Scott interrogates ‘The Australian Media’s problem with Palestine’ and Sam Ryan looks back at Overland and the state of arts funding in Australia from 1973 to 1975. This issue also features poetry from Yeena Kirkbright, DJ Huppatz, Debbie Lim, among others, and short fiction from Lauren Collee, Madeline Byrne and Jordan Smith.

More prizes, courtesy of Readings…

Karen Pickering

Readings was one of the first sponsors to come on board for our Subscriberthon and it’s just one of the many ways they show their support for Australian writing and local culture. For instance, The Readings Foundation is a particularly wonderful new initiative that I’ll be keeping an eye on. And now, let’s announce some winners!

Readings National Prize: a spritely selection of DVDs and CDs will be winging its way to Judy Durrant.

Readings Local Prize: a shiny gift voucher for a hundred whole dollars was won by Clare Wright.

Congratulations both! And if you missed out today, stay tuned to see if you scored any of the other amazing prizes.
