The summer 2015 issue of Meanjin has a wonderful essay from author and academic Margaret Simons based on an extraordinary novella-length love letter from Germaine Greer to Martin Amis. Join Greer as she travels the United States in the late seventies, flushed with the success of The Female Eunuch, seeking comfort in the arms of her American lover, seeking out pharmaceuticals with Frank Zappa, poring over Solzhenitsyn and pining for home as she scrawls page after page addressed to Amis. Discover the architect who actually made Jorn Utzon's Sydney opera house work after Utzon fled the project leaving an empty and dysfunctional shell. Wonder what the Turkish secret police have made of Shane Maloney's latest unfinished novel. Read new fiction from John Kinsella, Nike Sulway and Omar Musa and fresh poetry from Erin Shiel, David Wood and more. Much more.
