Tsiolkas is unashamedly vocal in his politics and – in addition to his novels – often comments in public forums on some of the issues most critical and most controversial in contemporary Australian culture: asylum seekers, sexuality, religion, the economy. As such, it’s timely to reflect on his place in Australia’s intellectual landscape and on what the Barracuda series should try to capture from his novel. He has published five novels, numerous short stories (including a recent collection), as well as critical essays, plays and screenplays, and an experimental philosophical-autobiographical dialogue with Sasha Soldatow.īarracuda, Tsiolkas’ latest novel to be adapted for television, will reach our screens on Sunday.
Christos Tsiolkas is, in both a popular and a critical sense, one of the most prominent literary figures in Australia today.
