Publishers Description: "I wanted to showcase those subjects which thoughtful and talented Australian writers were absorbed by in this particular year; indeed (I thought), wouldnt it be good to show what this country, and its culture, was about in 2010" - Robert Drewe This years Best Australian Essays offers riveting snapshots of the nations current loves and angers, its art and myths and amusements and gender concerns and its propensity for bushfires. From Alex Miller on the creative imagination to Mark Dapin on crime myths, from Amanda Hooton on Miss Universe to Tim Flannery on the inner lives of animals, this is a collection that takes the pulse of the nations writers and thinkers and finds them in rude health. A deeply satisfying collection for that long summer read.
