Canberra Poet Paul Hetherington on a Life in Verse, Sally Pryor , single work review
— Review of Burnt Umber Paul Hetherington , 2016 selected work poetry ;
'It's funny the things that move you when you're in a foreign country. Paul Hetherington didn't expect to find clarity in the sight of an ancient aqueduct while on a moving train in Rome, but there you have it. ...'
David Astle : the Swedish Girl Who Was My First Crush, David Astle , single work essay
'"Dear David, would you like to be one of our Men of Letters? The premise for the show is simple – we ask 10 esteemed gentlemen to write a letter to the 'woman who changed my life', and read it live. The letter can be funny, heartfelt, musical if you're so inclined – whatever works..." ...'
Their Brilliant Careers by Ryan O'Neill: a Puzzle to Delight Sleuths and Academics for Years, Adam Rivett , single work review
— Review of Their Brilliant Careers : The Fantastic Lives of Sixteen Extraordinary Australian Writers Ryan O'Neill , 2016 selected work short story ;
'This book is a sham, a trick, a gorgeous lie. Resting somewhere between a linked short story collection and a Bolanoesque encyclopaedia, Ryan O'Neill has created a book of imaginary literary biography where the invented rub shoulders with the actual, and where the true story is told in the connections and correspondences – some overt, some hidden – between writers of counterfeit note. ...'
Note: Includes portrait of author Ryan O'Neill
Full Bore Review : William McInnes' Juggling of Reflection, Moods and Memories, Steven Carroll , single work review
— Review of Full Bore William McInnes , 2016 selected work prose autobiography ;
'Picture a kind of backyard Proust in stubbies and thongs, talking to you fork in hand at the barbecue, and you'll get something of William McInnes' digressive, yarn-spinning style. ...'
The Sound of Summer Review : Jim Maxwell on the Joys of Cricket and the Radio, Jim Maxwell , single work review
— Review of The Sound of Summer Jim Maxwell , 2016 single work autobiography ;
'It's impossible to read the cricketing memoir of veteran ABC commentator Jim Maxwell without hearing his voice. You don't so much read as listen to it. Fitting, for this is as much a dedication to the art of radio commentary as the game. ...'
Crimes of the Father Review : Tom Keneally Tackles Abuse in the Catholic Church, Michael McGirr , single work review
— Review of Crimes of the Father Thomas Keneally , 2016 single work novel ;
'There are a growing number of novels prepared to tell the story of paedophilia within various church communities, not least the Catholic Church. Few of them have needed to stray far from the grim facts. ...'
Note: Includes portrait of author Tom Keneally
Turning Pages : Writers Deserve More from the Grants System, Jane Sullivan , single work column
'The recent news that writers come a poor third in federal government arts funding, well behind orchestras and opera, is no surprise. Writing has always been the poor cousin in the business of allocating taxpayers' money for the arts. ...'
