A short, seething and immaculate novel about what it’s like living in Israeli occupied Palestine.

An intriguing fantasy drawing on forest myths that is burdened by an unfortunate attitude to women.

Toxic is a polemic against Tasmania’s farmed salmon industry.

The Rain Heron is a fable about environmental exploitation.

Eating With My Mouth open is an investigation of food, body and memory, and all the things they can mean.

A virtuosic collection of essays about the meanings we invest in nature and animals.

A furious and thrilling novel about the “lives you might have had.”

A potent depiction of a time and a place, and seething critique of corruption.

An accomplished novel that forensically examines misogyny in all its forms.
