Interview with Jock Serong at Words on the Waves

Number 2 in our series of 8 interviews at the 2023 Words on the Waves Writers Festival, we chat with Jock Serong — reformed lawyer and multi award-winning author of several books including ‘The Rules of Backyard Cricket’ and his most recent novel, ‘The Settlement.’ We enjoyed a wide-ranging chat with Jock about Australian culture: from the lie-addled history of colonial Australia, to modern surf culture, and the real truth behind ‘The Castle.’
