- Authors
Karskens, Grace; McKenna, Mark
- Abstract
Grace Karskens's biographical essay 'Nah Doongh's Song' tells the story of an Aboriginal woman from Mooro Morack, Penrith. In 2019 the essay won the Australian Book Review's Calibre Prize, and in June that year Grace and historian Mark McKenna met at Sydney's Gleebooks for an 'In-conversation' evening to discuss Nah Doongh's story and the historical thinking, sources and methods that made writing her story possible, as well as the wider implications of writing biographies of Aboriginal people. This is an edited transcript of their conversation.
