Nicholas Jose’s The Idealist

The Final Draft podcast is all about books, writing and literary culture. We're dedicated to exploring Australian writing, looking into the issues that drive our storytelling to discover more from the books you love. These are the stories that make us who we are. Nicholas Jose has published eight novels, three collections of short fiction and a memoir, as well as a wide range of essays—concerning Australian and Asian life and arts and exploring stories that link Australia and China. An Australian defense analyst, Jake Treweek, is found dead in his Washington home. Officially it has been ruled a suicide but Jake’s widow Anne isn’t convinced.  Jake has been working gathering intelligence in East Timor. The country is boiling under Indonesian occupation and calls for an independence referendum. Jake is always tight lipped but Anne knows he’d discovered something. Was it something that cost him his life?  Final Draft is produced and presented by Andrew Pople Want more great conversations with Australian authors?
