What some people are saying about Griffith REVIEW

Griffith REVIEW is the new quarterly publication of ideas and fine writing which is produced by Griffith University in conjunction with ABC Books. Griffith REVIEW has been welcomed by high profile and new writers alike. Here is some of the feedback received to date:

• “For a long time Australia has needed a journal of opinion that is informed, lively and literate. With the Griffith REVIEW that need is splendidly fulfilled,” Michael Wilding.
• “Griffith REVIEW helps fill a growing gap between the daily media and less accessible academic publications. It is smart, professional and always relevant. It reaffirms the importance of sceptical and diverse commentary in an increasingly alienated society,” Mungo MacCallum.
• “Remarkably the breadth of issue Griffith REVIEW has tackled and the range of ideas it has yielded in its short life has made it essential reading,” Brian Johns.
• “Griffith REVIEW discusses the issues of the day like no other – every library should be a subscriber,” Anne Henderson.
• “To read Griffith REVIEW is to believe that words, thoughts and ideas are esteemed in Australia,” John Marsden
• “One of the few places in Australian media where arguments can be developed and complexity teased out,” Margaret Simons
• “Griffith REVIEW is filling a void in Australian cultural life. it's diverse, fresh and above all, providing an opportunity for new voices to emerge,” Greg Barns
• “I like the mix. It is like a good conversation,” Bille Brown.

The Current Issue

Australia is a country of immigrants, but a million Australians live abroad. They still call Australia home, but in the global village notions of belonging and citizenship have changed. The stunning new writing in this issue bursts with news insights into what it means to be Australian today and the political and policy changes this movement presents. Writers including Peter C.Doherty, Patrick McCaughey, Brian Castro, Tony Maniaty, Peter Skrzynecki and many more who explore how they move between countries and worlds, belonging, adjusting and moving on.

The current issue is titled Our Global Face and explores the nature of the Australian diaspora. It is full of stories of coming and going and belonging in the global village. It is a delightful read, but with some serious issues as well.

Next Issue

The Lure of Fundamentalism is due for publication in February 2005. It examines the resurgence of religion in politics, the nature of fundamentalism and its allure. It will feature a major new essay on the Middle East by the veteran journalist Murray Sayle, as well as the usual mix of shorter essays, reportage, memoir, poetry, fiction and art.

I hope that you will take this opportunity to subscribe and consider introducing your friends to this important new publication with a gift subscription.
