Placing in the top 20 of the ABC Radio National’s Top 100 Books of the 21st Century countdown, 10 years after its publication, Bruce Pascoe’s Dark Emu has had incredible lasting resonance for readers.

With Dark Emu being one of only three books by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander writers on the list, writer and academic Melanie Saward wrote a response list of her top books by Indigenous authors that should have been included.

Now, with the ABC Radio National’s Top 100 Australian Books countdown opening for voting, Uncle Bruce and Melanie come together for a special conversation about Dark Emu as a hugely important piece of work.

Join Uncle Bruce and Melanie in this close conversation.
