Leading Australian writers respond to the challenges of 2020, to create 
a vital cultural record of these extraordinary times.

2020 began with firestorms raging through the country, followed by 
floods, and then a global pandemic that has changed how Australians 
think, feel and live. We all experienced this year differently, but one 
thing rings true for all of us: this is a year we won’t forget.

This anthology brings together original work from a diverse collection 
of Australian voices, from writers to scientists, journalists to 
historians, all expressing what 2020 meant to them. They write of ash 
falling from the sky, fish dying on riverbanks, loved ones lost, loved 
ones reunited, the historical resonance of fire and plague for 
Indigenous Australians, geopolitical tensions, the changed nature of 
travel, friendships rekindled on Zoom, the urgency of the Black Lives 
Matter movement, the state of the arts and the media, the importance of 
nurturing our inner lives, communities destroyed and communities rebuilding.

FIRE FLOOD PLAGUE is a vital cultural record of the resilience and 
humanity needed in these extraordinary times.

Including original pieces from Lenore Taylor, Nyadol Nuon, Christos 
Tsiolkas, Melissa Lucashenko, Billy Griffiths, Jess Hill, Kim Scott,
