Melbourne and Sydney Fringe Festivals Go Online, Robert Reid , single work column
Judy Watson, Maddee Clark , single work column
Scary Monsters, Michelle de Kretser, Geordie Williamson , single work review
— Review of Scary Monsters Michelle De Kretser , 2021 single work novel ;

'The first thing to know about Scary Monsters is that it consists of two novellas bound top to tail within a single paperback. It’s a design decision that reinforces the world-turned-upside-down nature of the stories contained: one a narrative set in France – what that story’s narrator drolly labels le centre historique – and the other taking place in the ahistorical non-place of suburban Australia.' (Introduction)

Currowan, Bronwyn Adcock, Linda Jaivin , single work review
— Review of Currowan : A Story of Fire and a Community During Australia's Worst Summer Bronwyn Adcock , 2021 single work autobiography ;

'In 2005, the CSIRO predicted that climate change would lead to catastrophic fires in south-eastern Australia by 2020. But rather than treating the climate crisis as “a question of science and how we prepare”, as journalist Bronwyn Adcock writes in Currowan: The story of a fire and a community during Australia’s worst summer, the Coalition politicised and trivialised it. In April 2019, following the brutal heatwave of the year before, retired emergency services leaders warned the government that it needed to prepare urgently for climate crisis-related extreme weather events. Prime Minister Scott Morrison refused to meet with them. By November, fires were burning across the land. Morrison assured a nation on edge that everything was under control. Tweeting a photo of himself with Australian cricketer Steve Smith, he told fire-affected communities that the cricketers would give them “something to cheer for”.' (Introduction)
