Who is Killing the Great Books of Australia? Lits Out, Rosemary Neill , single work criticism

Rosemary Neill canvasses opinion on this subject from across the literature sector. Her interviewees include writers Brian Castro and Mark Davis, publisher Shona Martyn and Literature Board head John Emery.
