One Hundred Years of Dirt is an unflinching and ultimately hopeful memoir by The Australian’s social affairs commentator, Rick Morton, cataloguing poverty, violence and treachery stretching across generations. Stephen Romei called it “[a story that] should be read by every Australian”. Christos Tsiolkas hailed it as “a magnificent book… infused with genuine compassion”. George Megalogenis meets Rick to discuss what is both a celebration of survival and a wrenching testament to the strength of familial love.
