About this listen

Craig San Roque reads 'The Long Weekend in Alice Springs' over 8 episodes.

The Long Weekend is an award-winning, cult-favourite graphic novel, adapted and drawn by Joshua Santospirito, based on an essay that explores the Jungian concept of the cultural complex,; an idea about group behaviour that was left largely unexplored until very recently in the academic world.

Craig San Roque, the author of the original essay, acts as narrator throughout a series of poetic thoughts and places. Over the course of a long weekend in the central Australian desert town of Alice Springs he grapples with an analysis of his own culture and the pain which it intentionally and unintentionally inflicts upon other cultures.

Find out more about the graphic novel - Winner of the 2014 NT Literary Awards “Chief Minister’s Non-Fiction Book Award” - at joshuasantospirito.com.
