Bluey Creator Joe Brumm’s Dog Days, Steve Dow , single work column

'Inspired by the interactions between his young daughters, Joe Brumm created a one-minute pilot that would become the kids’ television juggernaut Bluey. Here, he discusses the challenges of writing the show and reminisces about the blue heelers of his childhood. “Each episode has a number of components to make it good … It’s not just about coming up with a funny game.”'  (Introduction) 

Tom Keneally : The Dickens Boy, Andrew Fuhrmann , single work review
— Review of The Dickens Boy Thomas Keneally , 2020 single work novel ;

'Throughout the 19th century it was common practice for well-to-do British families to dispose of their more debauched, debt-prone or dissipated scions by sending them off to the colonies. A typical specimen was Edward Bulwer Lytton Dickens, known as Plorn, the youngest and most hapless of Charles and Catherine’s 10 children. Having failed to distinguish himself in anything more elevated than the interpretation of cricket scorecards, Plorn was peremptorily dispatched to the Australian outback, which his famous father believed would induce him to focus his energies and efforts. He was not even 16 when he disembarked in Melbourne in 1868.' (Introduction)

Pip Williams : The Dictionary of Lost Words, Louise Swinn , single work review
— Review of The Dictionary of Lost Words Pip Williams , 2020 single work novel ;

'At one point early on in this excellent debut novel, The Dictionary of Lost Words, set in Oxford 120 years ago, it appears as though Esme may have to choose between getting married and becoming an editor, a choice that doesn’t seem as outdated as it should. Esme actually has no interest in getting married just then, whereas – like her father – she has a natural predilection for words.'  (Introduction)
