In the newest contribution to the Writers on Writers book series, author and The Monthly's Contributing Editor Richard Cooke turns his attention to the seminal Australian travel writer Robyn Davidson. Robyn’s bestselling Tracks recounted her solo walk from Alice Springs to the Indian Ocean in 1977 at the age of 27, and was later adapted into a film. Speaking with the ABC's Michaela Kalowski, Richard reflects on Robyn’s remarkable life, her relationship with place and freedom, and her singular presence in Australian letters.
