Review: The Elected Member by Bernice Rubens

A contained and seething study of madness and familial obligation.

A white middle class New York family heads into the woods and the world ends in Rumaan Alam’s gleefully silly horror-comedy.

Bodies Of Light tells the story of Holly, a 40-something woman who lives in Vermont. When she is one day contacted by someone who thinks she might be someone else on Facebook, the novel cuts back into the past to explore Holly’s childhood in Melbourne - and why she has taken on several new identities during her life.

A tricksy collection of poetry from poet and academic Kate Lilley.
