Originally a written work by Craig San Roque, The Long Weekend in Alice Springs is a graphic novel adaptation that chronicles the complex psychological and cultural landscape of Central Australia through the lens of Jungian analysis and Indigenous Australian experience. Adapted and drawn by Joshua Santospirito, the work reimagines San Roque's acclaimed essay — first published in The Cultural Complex: Contemporary Jungian Perspectives on Psyche and Society — as a visually striking sequential art narrative. The book presents an unflinching portrait of Alice Springs, examining the collision of cultures, trauma, and community in one of Australia's most iconic and contested outback towns. With a tone that is both poetic and urgent, it argues powerfully for a deeper understanding of the psychological dimensions of Australia's Indigenous crisis, making it essential reading for those interested in Jungian thought, graphic literature, and the enduring human stories of the Australian interior.
