Itâs been two years since publisher
Louise Adler and Melbourne University Press pointedly parted ways. So it must have been with some measure of whiplash that some of Melbourneâs more prominent citizens received an invitation from Adler and MUP to launch Adlerâs latest project.
Of course, not
that MUP, one or two slips of the tongue aside. Monash University Publishing (same acronym, different outfit) asked Adler, now a professorial fellow at that university, to âcurateâ its new
In The National Interest series. The first cohort of 20,000-word, pamphlet-like books on topics of national importance was launched last Thursday night at Melbourneâs RACV Club, to a mostly local audience that due to recent captivities hadnât seen a canape in months.
