“The Whitewash” by Siang Lu, Susan Blumberg-Kason , single work review
— Review of The Whitewash Siang Lu , 2022 single work novel ;
'In a style similar to Charles Yu’s Interior Chinatown, Australian author Siang Lu has written a sobering and satirical novel, The Whitewash, to shed light on the ways Hollywood has misrepresented Asians in film, going back more than a century, all while he pays homage to the rich history of the Hong Kong film industry and how it and Hollywood have entwined over the decades.' (Introduction)
“Cold Enough For Snow” by Jessica Au, Peter Gordon , single work review
— Review of Cold Enough for Snow Jessica Au , 2022 single work novel ;

'Jessica Au’s novella Cold Enough For Snow won the inaugural “Novel Prize” in 2020 while still in manuscript; it’s easy to understand what the judges saw in it. Compact and terse yet flowing, both concrete and ambiguous, intimate but distant, modest yet knowing, the book manages to find universality in the careful observation of detail.' (Introduction)
“She Is Haunted” by Paige Clark, Susan Blumberg-Kason , single work review
— Review of She Is Haunted Paige Clark , 2021 selected work short story ;

'The stories in Chinese/American/Australian writer Paige Clark’s debut collection, She Is Haunted, deal with relationships—both romantic and those between mothers and daughters—and mortality. The lead story is titled “Elisabeth Kubler-Ross” after the psychiatrist who framed the five stages of grief. Many of the female characters are named Elizabeth, including a Paige Elizabeth, or variations of that name and Clark dedicates her book to “all the Elizabeths who have lived through this and more”.' (Introduction)
