In “When Words Fail Us: Truth beyond time”, the follow-up to his profound “Murriyang: Song of Time”, Wiradjuri and Kamilaroi journalist and writer Stan Grant explores the fragility of language in loud and angry times. Drawing on a wide range of thinkers from Plato to Simone Weil to Radiohead, Stan considers truth, communication and understanding.
