Description
Thomas Keneally discusses his novel, “A River Town.” He begins by explaining that his book is about an older man who decides to adopt a troubled young girl. He talks about different methods that police use to solve murders in Australia. He describes how many Australians and Irish people were accused of being disloyal to the British Empire. Keneally talks about other books he’s written including “Schindler’s List.” Martinson asks him to read a passage from the book about a family picnic that ends in tragedy.
