Another important book to be released this month, the new novel by Melbourne’s own #ChristosTsiolkas is now available at all of the Melbourne City Reads shops.
#SevenAndAHalf is a breathtaking novel about finding joy & beauty in a raging & punitive world, about the refractions of memory & time. Most subversive of all, it's about the mystery of art & its creation from the award-winning author of Damascus & The Slap, #ChristosTsiolkas.
Tomorrow (Wednesday 10th) tune into @abcmelbourne to hear afternoon presenter @Jacinta_Parsons discussing our November book HOW DECENT FOLK BEHAVE with its author, poet Maxine Beneba Clarke @slamup

away from sinking,
and sometimes you only realise
when you're gasping for air

Tomorrow (Wednesday 13th) tune into @abcmelbourne to hear afternoon presenter @Jacinta_Parsons discussing our October book, Wild Abandon, with its author Emily Bitto. @emilybitto
Have you read our October pick yet?
This lyrical & devastating new novel from @TheStellaPrize winning author @emilybitto, offers us startling & profound visions of the world & our place in it. #WildAbandon is a tumble through the world of end-days capitalism, a haunting, hyperreal snapshot of our own strange times.
