Jock Serong Cherrywood, Madeleine Gray , single work review
— Review of Cherrywood Jock Serong , 2024 single work novel ;

'A Scottish businessman at the beginning of the 20th century. A magical, moving pub in 1990s Melbourne. Ships. Ghosts. A lot of talk about wood – not a metaphor, just wood. Hubris and other human fallibilities. I wanted to love Jock Serong’s Cherrywood – for the ambitiousness and reach of its plot, for its parallels with Enid Blyton’s The Faraway Tree series, for its consideration of colonialism and gentrification – but it left me cold.' (Introduction)
Adam Elliot’s 15-year Wait for Memoir of a Snail, Stephen A. Russell , single work review

'On the eve of the release of his first full-length feature film in 15 years, Oscar-winning animator Adam Elliot muses on a life spent working with wood, glue and clay. By Stephen A. Russell.'
