The Trouble with Paradise explores the idea of paradise, as a place, a state of mind and emotional wellbeing The Trouble with Paradise is grounded in competing ideas, and the more troublesome reality. From the American dream and travel to exotic locations, to the perfect family and dreams of heaven, ideas of paradise abound All too often reality is more complicated, costly and elusive The outstanding lead essay by Frank Moorhouse examines the challenges to freedom of expression in the post 9/11 world Was the idea one that only suited times of peace, or an enduring element of an ideal society? What are the consequences of closing down debates, and is it even possible in a networked world?
