      About This Book

      An unusual and interesting biography focusing not on an individual but on the relationship and life-partnership of a couple - Nina and Clem Christesen. Clem Christesen was the founder of Meanjin, one of Australia's leading literary and political magazines for more than fifty years. Nina, who was born in pre-revolutionary St Petersburg, was the founder of the first department of Russian in Australasia and was in contact with such dissidents as Solzhenitsyn and Sakharov.

      This is a unique portrait of Australian cultural life in the crucial formative years of the 1950s and 1960s, told through a remarkable personal story.
