In this moving essay, Tony Birch shows how Scott uses fiction as a pathway to truth. We meet a writer who 'inhabits a range of guises, faces he wears to interrogate the complex and messy frontier history of colonial encounters'. The result is '\u003ci\u003enew stories\u003c\/i\u003e' for the nation. This, says Birch, is the work that Kim Scott has been doing for many years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublished by Black Inc. in association with the University of Melbourne and State Library Victoria.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Tony Birch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43516590456893,"sku":null,"price":21.84,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9781760644796.jpg?v=1787558601","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/on-kim-scott","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
