1 1 y separately published work icon The Most Famous Boy in Town Bel Schenk , Australia : Espresso , 2024 27447722 2024 single work novella

'Set in Charlotte Bay, a masculine town with a feminine name, the 50,000-word novella unfolds in the week before the local Aussie Rules grand final, where Lucas Walker is expected to lead the Hawks to victory. After a beach party, Lucas's sixteen-year-old brother Ryan wakes to find a humpback whale on the foreshore. As the rescue mission unfolds, blurry recollections of his brother's assault on a girl begin to weigh on his conscience. What exactly did he see, and how will he make sense of it when so many around him worship the star player?' (Publication summary)
1 1 y separately published work icon The Memory Library Antonia Pont , Australia : Espresso , 2024 27447673 2024 single work novel science fiction

'After an unspecified disaster, the future is quiet and analogue. Behind a doorway in the old town, a private library service flourishes. Signed up by the inscrutable Charlie, patrons subscribe to a membership they don’t fully understand. Retro-tainment, existential eavesdropping, or the future of self-help?

'Whether heartbreak, a rainstorm, or habitual brittleness leads you to The Memory Library, your contributions can be accommodated.' (Publication summary)
