Why First Nations Writers don’t (often) Write Crime Fiction

Tony Birch, Julie Janson and Nardi Simpson

First nations writers mostly avoid the crime genre. What is that? Too much experience of real crime? Different cultural concepts of crime and punishment? Three First Nations writers, Tony Birch, Nardi Simpson and the creator of the investigator Auntie June explore possible reasons with Larissa Behrendt.
