Overland 212

Overland is Australia's most exciting literary magazine - and the only major journal to publish from an explicitly progressive perspective. Since 1954, it has featured essays, fiction, poetry, reviews, comments and artwork from the nation's best writers and thinkers, from Patrick White to Cate Kennedy. Now in its fifty-ninth year, Overland continues to highlight ideas and authors you won't find anywhere else. In edition 212, Overland looks at how to defend arts funding; strategies for fighting fascism in Europe; the cult of Bulgakov's Master and Margarita; the ALP and cultural labourism; the rise (and fall?) of the Greens; what the detention centre has meant for Nauru; health advice for writers; the problematic politics of the NDIS; the ethics of writing other cultures. Plus three new stories, a swag of new poetry, correspondence and much, much more.
