'Griffith Review' captures the spirit of the times with fresh and provocative writing. It builds a bridge between journalism, academic and literary writing.
The first issue of 'Griffith Review' is a unique collection of reportage, analysis, memoir, photography, fiction and poetry. Essays by leading writers and thinkers explore what the new world order may mean for Australia and expose sources of fear and insecurity.
In this issue, John Birmingham examines the sources of fear and insecurity in the Australian psyche, Eva Sallis writes movingly about the experiences of Australians of middle eastern background, Graeme Dobell reports on the new culture in the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
Eminent American scholar Chalmers Johnson warns of the dangers of an American Empire, William Tow examines what the new world order may mean for Australia, Pat Weller looks at the reality inside international organisations, Michael McKernan analyses the challenges for the defence of Australia, Frank Moorhouse ruminates on the creative desire to dream of ways of imposing order on an unruly world.
Geraldine Doogue reflects on how reporting the first gulf war affected her life, former diplomat Tony Kevin describes the impact of his epiphany, Irris Makler reports on an unintended consequence of the war in Iraq and the Australia's leading Bali scholar Adrian Vickers writes about the bombing last October.
This issue also features Andrew Belk's award winning short story 'The Search For Big Jesus', MTC Cronin's poetry, photos by renowned photographer Tim Page and satire by Charles Firth.
