Publishers Description: Praise for Little Books on Big Themes Theres no denying the attractiveness of these little essay-length books . Nor could any fair-minded person argue with the publishing brilliance of having essays of this kind by writers of this quality or of this degree of fame or interest . This is a ravishing quartet of essays, grander and more variegated than we have seen anyone bring together in ages.Peter Craven , The Australian Its hard to think of any other essay series that could bring together the Holocaust, Aboriginal dispossession, a writers longing for a former prime minister and a Melbourne teenager conducting Mahler in his bedroom with a plastic chopstick.Jane Sullivan , The Age Little Books on Big Themes, re-packages an old-fashioned and unsexy genre to make essays modish and exciting.Fiona Gruber , Weekend Australian
