The 9pm Arty Greek Melbourne Chat with Esther Anatolitis

The 9pm Edict

As the autumn series of the Edict overflows into Official Winter, we go arty with Esther Anatolitis, editor of Australian literary journal Meanjin and a colossus striding the Melbourne arts scene and beyond.
In this episode we discuss the controversy over Vincent Namatjira's portrait of billionaire Gina Reinhart, and why Melbourne is so arty and, allegedly, so liveable. We touch upon Cole's Book Arcade, Melbourne being a UNESCO City of Literature, being Greek — her not me — and much more.
This conversation was recorded on 20 May 2024, so listen all the way to the end for some updates.
Disclosure: Meanjin is a client, though I am not being paid for this and it was all my idea.
