In a sense, Christos Tsiolkas's new novel is a form of social commentary: about where Australia is now, what race and class dynamics there are like, and what's happened to bonds of family and community in the face of rampant materialism. And in the second of a two-part interview, Tadzio Mueller addresses the question of protest movement dialogue and strategizing.
