The Personal Landscape, Patrick Allington , single work review
— Review of Imaginative Possession: Learning to Live in the Antipodes no. February 2022 periodical issue ;

'For a slim and mostly mild-mannered book, Belinda Probert’s Imaginative Possession provokes a multitude of thoughts and feelings. As I read it, I had an urge to talk back to Probert – to offer counter-views if not, exactly, to argue with her. But I also wanted to let the narrative wash over me, to enjoy its simple pleasures. In the end, I did some of each.' (Introduction)

Lest We Remember, James Ley , single work biography

'The first sentence in John Hughes’ novel The Dogs is lifted from his first book, a collection of autobiographical essays titled The Idea of Home (2004), though the recycled line is not quite verbatim.'  (Introduction)

Dissociating the Novel, Ursula Robinson-Shaw , single work review
— Review of New Animal Ella Baxter , 2021 single work novel ;

'Here is my little hypothesis: People love to say that the problem with Australian literature is a lack of critical culture. It’s not. It’s that people don’t read Australian literature, and then they lie about it online. Every day I open Instagram and think, it is so brave of you to post a picture of that book you haven’t read. Someone could ask you a single question about it and the whole house of cards would come down. But nobody will, because they haven’t read it either.'  (Introduction)

Minor Threats, Emmett Stinson , single work review
— Review of The Magpie Wing Max Easton , 2021 single work novel ;
The Little Jolts, Joe Gorman , single work review
— Review of Plum Brendan Cowell , 2021 single work novel ;

'Early in Brendan Cowell’s latest novel, Plum, the scales fall from the eyes of his protagonist, a 49-year-old ex-rugby league player named Peter Lum.'
