2 w. ago Craig Silvey: ‘Boys want to feel as though their experiences and inner world are validated and important’

The acclaimed Jasper Jones author on raising three young daughters, identities forged in country life, and how literature can combat toxic masculinityGet our weekend culture and lifestyle emailIt’s a blustery morning at Fremantle’s Booyembara Park. Rain hammers down in sideways sheets, and the horizon is a blurred smudge of green and grey.

Yushy started out as a fresher when he replied to a party promoter looking for a photographer.
