Two edges of the language. Meeting with Michael Cunningham and Richard Flanagan.

Two edges of the language. Meeting with Michael Cunningham and Richard Flanagan.

The sun never sets on the world of English literature. But is the fact that a Canadian and an Australian speak the same language every day a sufficient argument to talk about one cultural space? What unites and what divides North America and the Antipodes? Does is still make sense to use the metaphor – as old as the United Kingdom – of the centre and the periphery?

Discussion: Michael Cunningham, Richard Flanagan
Host: Magda Heydel

Simultaneous interpretation from English
