Review: Auē by Becky Manawatu

Auē tears down the walls around New Zealand’s epidemic of domestic violence.

Review: Fourteen by Shannon Malloy

A harrowing memoir of growing up gay in regional Australia.

A masterful, stroll-around-a-garden novella.

A gripping, frightening and weirdly hopeful look at the lengths we’ll have to go to to fix global problems.

A story of growing up black and queer in the UK.

A startling collection of poetry, prose-poetry and prose that resists literary colonisation.

An eerily prescient vision of the climate-ruined near future.

Detransition, Baby is out to shake your notions of gender and family to their core.

A dense and watery novel about the madness of searching for meaning in our mad times.

A urgent stocktake of the Black Summer, which burned a fifth of Australia’s forests.
