  • Shankari Chandran: Rewriting who is ‘Australian enough’
    Sep 17 2024
    Shankari Chandran has always turned to storytelling for refuge. Now, with four novels and the 2023 Miles Franklin Literary Award to her name, the Tamil-Australian author has claimed her place in Australia’s literary world—but it wasn’t without a fight. Once dismissed for her work not being 'Australian enough,' Shankari now calls for a reckoning, demanding a reimagining of Australia’s narrative—one that refuses to silence diverse voices. How do we break through? SBS Spice host Suhayla Sharif sits down with Shankari to uncover the transformative stories that will define the future of South Asian Australian literature.
