Join Australia’s most intrepid and provocative storyteller, John Safran, for an evening of sharp wit, dark humor, and cultural commentary as he talks to Mathew Condon about his latest book, Squat. John Safran recounts his time squatting in a celebrity’s abandoned mansion.
On the page and on the small screen, John Safran is known for pushing boundaries – his own, other people’s and society’s – to examine big questions about life and belief from an utterly original perspective.
The writer and filmmaker’s new book, Squat, recounts his stranger-than-fiction experience travelling to Los Angeles and squatting at a well-known celebrity’s mansion (identity to be revealed). With the celebrity’s promotion of Hitler as a kick-off point, Safran explores threads of Jewishness, identity and belonging – topics that couldn’t hit closer to home.
