Yuin, Bunurong and Tasmanian writer Bruce Pascoe has illuminated Indigenous Australian history with his modern classic Dark Emu. Imperial Harvest is a novel set in the 13th century, following Yen Se, a Chinese horse trainer who experiences the trauma and hardship of war, and the loss of his family and home.
Psykhe is the perfect winter read. Set against a rich historical backdrop, Forsyth’s latest is full of everything her readers have come to love about her work. There is an admirably clear-eyed and gentle quality to this debut memoir, in spite of – or perhaps because of – the pain that drives it. Australian-Burmese author Khin Myint writes of two personal sagas that overlapped in a singularly difficult period of his life: after his fiancee suddenly left him in Perth to return to the US, he followed her over and was promptly levelled with a stalking charge.
Everything is Water is Simon Cleary’s account of his 344km journey by foot along the Brisbane river. I approached this book with some trepidation, given the predictable man v nature tropes that can plague so-called adventurers’ accounts of their expeditions into the “wild”. But Cleary’s is not an ego-driven, gung-ho narrative; it is something far quieter and more intimate.
