Review: Hurricane Season by Fernanda Melchor (translated by Sophie Hughes)

A brutal tale of murder, sex and witchcraft set in the steamy coastal plains of Mexico.

Review: The Adversary by Ronnie Scott

A story of gay frenemy-ship set in share-house inner Melbourne, uncovering uncomfortable truths about queer life and love.

A fast-paced political thriller that hits perhaps little too close to home, and not necessarily for the right reasons.

The Grapes Of Wrath remains a bracingly strange novel about ecological crisis eight decades after it was published.

A whimsical, absurd and transgressive collection of stories about Australian masculinity.

A sweet and simple story about growing up in parallel worlds, Melbourne and Prague in 1980.

A hilarious novel about mortality and ageing.

The Yield offers a generous and quietly radical vision of a possible Australia.

At the beating heart of this time-bending novel is love – platonic, romantic, parental – and its various betrayals.

A strange, rather beautiful and ultimately quietly devastating novel.
