As good a collection as I've read in an age. And the stories are all connected, so it has the feel of a loose novel. Just tremendous writing and (small-town) world-building

I’m reading 3 books at the moment - it’s good to sit by the fan, reading & getting cool - although I’m tending to read Hornblower before sleep at night. (I’ve 10 books more in the #HoratioHornblower series to get through yet!)

Australian authors group including #JMCoetzee, #CharlotteWood, #KimScott, #TimWinton, #MichelledeKretser and #AnnaFunder give federal politicians 5 books to encourage nuance in #MiddleEast debate.
The book selection was endorsed by the Jewish Council of Australia and the Australian Palestine Advocacy Network.
The group recommended the five “authoritative, highly readable books” to help address what they believed was a lack of nuance in public debate.

Review: Tim Winton's new book Juice is a dystopian tale that imagines life after climate catastrophe

The acclaimed West Australian author imagines what life will be like for our descendants if we do nothing about climate change in his much-anticipated latest novel.

"Securing a just and sustainable future will require many things to be smashed and cleared away. Not reformed incrementally but removed entirely. The opportunity for ameliorative tinkering has already been squandered." #TimWinton in the @TheGuardian

Our leaders are collaborators with fossil fuel colonialists. This is the source of our communal dread

The lassitude that distinguishes our moment is born of sorrow and buried rage. We act like colonial subjects because, in effect, that’s what we are

#TimWinton on our communal malaise. Collective strategies of denial to distract from ‘the horror of resignation, the humiliation of captivity & the shame of collaboration’.

#TimWinton on the grieving of those (we) whose land has been plundered: communal anguish, moral injury & desperate strategies of denial. Those (we) who enable & profit from this cruelty work to keep its causes unsayable & invisible.
