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. 'Overland' continues to highlight ideas and authors you won't find anywhere else. Issue 224 contains eight exceptional essays on working in the sweatshop of the world, Corbynmania, the costs of Australian books, what corporate control of the internet means for the future of revolution, whether fiction can change the world, our long history of using and abusing Manus Island, and why politicians can't understand poverty. This issue also contains the winners of the Victoria University Short Story Prize, a selection of remarkable poetry and columns by Overland regulars: Alison Croggon, Mel Campbell and Natalie Harkin.
