— Appears in: The Saturday Paper , 8-14 June 2024;
— Review of A Very Secret Trade : The Dark Story of Gentlemen Collectors in Tasmania Cassandra Pybus , 2024 multi chapter work criticism biography

'Cassandra Pybus’s 13th book, A Very Secret Trade: The dark story of gentlemen collectors in Tasmania, is a remarkable work. It is harrowing: my stomach churned throughout. At times, it felt like the skin wanted to crawl off my body. As an Aboriginal person, I thought I had a handle on the depths of colonial Australia’s depravity, but Pybus proved me wrong. They have no end.'

'Amy Thunig wanders deep into her interior wilderness to bring readers her generous and courageous debut memoir, Tell Me Again.
