David Hunt: Misremembering and Misrepresenting our Past
About
Australians have a complex relationship with their history – a history that is misreported, misremembered and misrepresented. Why have we ignored, forgotten or selectively reconstructed our past? And what are the consequences for Australians today?David Hunt is an Australian history communicator and satirist. His first book, Girt: The Unauthorised History of Australia, won the 2014 Indie (Independent Booksellers) Award for non-fiction book of the year. The sequel, True Girt, was shortlisted for Audiobook of the Year at the 2017 Australian Book Industry Awards and the 2017 Russell Prize for Humour Writing. Literary prize judges for David's 2021 Girt Nation were less discerning.
