- Summary:
- Born in Southport and raised in Fingal, Bundjalung and Kullili man Daniel Browning has spent almost 30 years documenting First Nations arts and culture. An award-winning journalist and multi-talented media personality, his nuanced insights and deeply felt ethics have earned him a profile as one of Australia's most respected radio commentators. Dignified, empathic, rebellious, introspective, and always unique, Close to the Subject takes the reader on a journey through Daniel Browning's eyes. Featuring conversations with the late Archie Roach, Venon Ah Kee, Faith Bandler, and Doris Pilkington Garimara, this book brings together some of Browning's greatest published and unpublished works. Blending poetry, journalism, playscript, memoir, and criticism along with some of his most loved and listened to interviews and radio documentaries, this collection truly defies categorisation.
