Clem Christesen and his legacy

Lee, Jenny ( 2004)

Clem Christesen was a complex and contradictory individual, and his life-work even more so. The two are hard to separate: for more than three decades, from 1940 until 1974, Clem’s name was synonymous with that of Meanjin, but his contribution to Australian cultural life extends far beyond the magazine’s pages. In many ways he was a larger-than-life figure who defies any neat summation.
