21.01.2022 Sending HUGE congratulations to Jessica White who has won The 2020 Michael Crouch Award for a Debut Work as part of the National Biography Award for her gorgeous hybrid memoir, 'Hear Maud' Available for purchase on the UWAP website now! Use the code MAUD at checkout for free shipping. "The writing, unsentimental and unobtrusive, beautifully evokes White’s life: a sunny Australian farm childhood, miserable London winters, the challenges of her journey to understand Maud. T...here are shrewd insights into the history of deafness and its treatments, the ideological battles between signing and oralism and sign language’s relationship to the emergence of the telegraph and the fad of automatic writing. But we are also left with a sense of exhaustion: how gruellingly hard it is to be deaf, an often invisible disability in a hearing world. This is simultaneously a contribution to the history of nineteenth-century women’s lives, a revelatory study of deafness, and a fine work of Australian life writing." - the 2020 National Biography Award judges Read more about Jess' win and the award here: https://www.sl.nsw.gov.au/awards/national-biography-award

21.01.2022 Three Australian novels that take us into the kitchens and behind the counters of Greek-Australian cafes, walk us across the landscape with Aboriginal women, and drive us on a flight from dark forces in a dystopian near future that is very familiar. Karen Wyld speaks to the ABC Radio National Book Show about her new novel, 'Where the Fruit Falls'. Karen Wyld is a reviewer, short story writer and novelist, whose book Where the Fruit Falls is from UWA publishing. She is a a diasporic Aboriginal woman of Martu descent. #NAIDOC #Auslit #wherethefruitfalls

19.01.2022 From Will Yeoman in The Weekend West: Rich in insights and novel lines of investigation, this extraordinary book is not content merely to tread the well-worn paths of previous histories of two opposing world views and the land they share. Instead, South West authors Bill and Jenny Bunbury use the idea and the reality of maps - as instruments, as metaphors - as both lens and mirror to "chart understandings and misunderstandings between two cultures over two centuries of Europe...an occupation of Australia". As author Kim Scott, quoted in the book, writes, "But there's still a whole lot we're not seeing - all of us who have been damaged through this shared history of ours." Many Maps will go some way to help open our eyes. More info on our website! https://uwap.uwa.edu.au/products/many-maps

12.01.2022 "'Isinglass' is a prose narrative written around a beautiful conceit. A meditation on the interdependence of history and fiction, the work is set in the destruction of the Ur-city and of four other cities. All five are called Isinglass, successively of the Waters, Dust, Fire, Sky and the Last. Waves of migration are an essential part of this ficto-prehistory of creation and destruction. The narrative begins with a man, ‘Asian, in his thirties, perhaps’, found washed up uncons...cious and with a head injury on the ‘pale ochre sand’ of an Australian beach. Further up, sand dunes rise like ‘the sliding pyramids of a forgotten city’. This is the setting in Section I, ‘Dark Point’, a remote dreaming site of the Worimi people on a promontory jutting somewhere in the Tasman Sea." Greg Lockhart reviews Martin Edmon's ISINGLASS in Sydney Review of Books Read the full review here: https://sydneyreviewofbooks.com/re/in-the-house-of-stories/

02.01.2022 Repost @kmildenhall ‘An ancient ocean roars under the red dirt. Hush. Be still for just a moment. Hear its thundering waves crashing on unseen shores.’ #wherethefruitfalls by Karen Wyld is a family saga that threads through place and time and the lives of Aboriginal women. Evocative & visceral, it demands that its non-Indigenous Australian readers recognise the stolen land they live on and understand the legacies of trauma inflicted by colonisers and still impacting today. ... A big sprawling story, it’s also tightly plotted so that it became hard to put down as I raced through to find out where the road would lead these extraordinary women. Perfect reading for #naidocweek2020 and every week. Add it to your list. Looking forward to speaking with Wyld today and bringing you our conversation on @thefirsttimepod very soon. #whatkatereadnext #readinglist2020 #KarenWyld #readblackwomen #australianfiction #firstnationsliterature #bookstagram #writersofinstagram #bookrecommendations #buybooksforchristmas

01.01.2022 'As an avid reader, especially during our recent lockdown in Melbourne, I usually have two books on the go at the same time: a more serious one for spare moments during the day and a lighter one for after hours. But I found while reading Not Always Diplomatic that just one book sufficed.' https://www.internationalaffairs.org.au//book-review-not-/

01.01.2022 New title incoming! 'Many Maps' is available next week Australia’s First Nations mapped their world in terms of a spiritual and environmental relationship to country and an animate sense of being.
