[Y]our People [Y]our Problemsi"I have never had a country", Omar Sakr , single work poetry
[Review Essay] Undertow, Christos Tsiolkas , single work essay

'Miranda Nation’s directorial debut, Undertow, begins with power, promise and tension, but it ends up drowning in its own contradictory styles. By Christos Tsiolkas.' 

Felicity Volk : Desire Lines, Justine Hyde , single work review
— Review of Desire Lines Felicity Volk , 2020 single work novel ;

'British nature writer Robert Macfarlane describes desire lines as “paths and tracks made over time by the wishes and feet of walkers … contrary to design or planning”. Felicity Volk’s second novel traces such a contrary path in the unconventional love story of Evie Waddell and Paddy O’Connor: theirs is a grand passion that winds its heady course across continents over five turbulent decades.' (Introduction)

Sean O’Beirne : A Couple of Things Before the End, Peter Craven , single work review
— Review of A Couple of Things Before the End : Stories Sean O’Beirne , 2020 selected work short story ;

'Every so often we’re reminded with a jolt that Australian realism doesn’t – to use Patrick White’s phrase – have to be dun-coloured. In fact it can be kinky, it can be ludic, it can be in the tradition of that shaggiest of shaggy-dog stories, Furphy’s Such Is Life, which begins with that immortal and immemorially appealing Australian sentiment, “Unemployed at last!”' (Introduction)

Vivian Pham : The Coconut Children, Shu-Ling Chua , single work review
— Review of The Coconut Children Vivian Pham , 2017 single work novel ;

'Set in 1990s Cabramatta, The Coconut Children opens with charismatic 16-year-old Vince Tran celebrating his release from two years in juvenile detention. His laughter, “thundering through the entire neighbourhood”, drips with stolen homegrown mango as his friends push him in a shopping trolley. The procession passes his childhood friend Sonny Vuong, who dreams of being whisked away from her emotionally unpredictable mother. Instead, the dutiful Sonny finds solace in bodice-rippers, schoolyard gossip with her best friend and conversations with her good-natured father and sassy grandmother.'(Introduction)
