1 Reliving the 1980s Through Teenage Eyes Katherine Gillespie , 2017 single work essay
— Appears in: The Weekend Australian , 24 June 2017; (p. 19)
'Since its inception in 1994, Melbourne-based Text Publishing has engaged in the noble if fraught pursuit of unearthing and rebirthing long-forgotten Australian literary treasures. While sometimes the past is much better left there, we should be glad that Moira Burke’s Losing It has received a new lease on life.' (Introduction)
1 Love Letter to the Suburbs Katherine Gillespie , 2017 single work essay
— Appears in: The Weekend Australian , 15 April 2017; (p. 19)
'In this era of soaring house prices and desperate first-home buyers, it’s very brave or very silly to centre a contemporary Australian novel on the concept of property ownership. Puzzlingly, the newly married couple of Ashley Hay’s A Hundred Small Lessons purchase a large piece of riverside real estate without so much as mentioning the huge mortgage they have presumably signed up for. The sense of wonder increases when you learn that one of them does not work, and the other — scarcely less precariously — is a newspaper journalist.' (Introduction)
