Nowra vs Ellis

After getting stuck into Kristen Williamson for her book on David, Louis Nowra has taken on Bob Ellis in the ALR. Good old Louis has never been afraid to stir the pot - it's a shame his piece has a few factual errors (Ellis has written more plays that Nowra mentions, not to mention novels). Literary stoushes are, to quote Guy Rundle, akin to knife fights in dinghy. But it's fun to watch, especially when you're very familiar with the works of the writers concerned.
