Zan Rowe and Madeleine Gray review: Chris Ames/Fiona Mozley/Niamh Campbell
from The Bookshelf · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation
Cassie McCullagh is joined by Jonathan Green this time, for a wide-ranging hour of new fiction, from Australia and beyond. First, Fiona Mozley’s unsettling Awake Awake, where a young woman begins to suspect her grandfather may have killed Adolf Hitler, Zan Rowe weighs in. Then, Irish writer Niamh Campbell’s Make Strange, a quietly eerie novel about a four-year-old asking impossible questions, including whether she’s lived before...Madeleine Gray gives her verdict. And we begin with a striking new Australian voice in the short story collection I Made This Just For You by Chris Ames.~ OTHER BOOKS MENTIONEDElmet; Hot Stew, by Fiona MozleyWhat We Can Know, by Ian McEwanThe Ruiners, by Ellena SavageThe Shepherd's Life; A Place of Tides, by James RebanksThe Animators; Returns and Exchanges, by Kayla Rae WhitakerFruit Fly, by Josh SilverYellowface, by R.F.
