Thea Astley recommends
 The Common Rat (1993) Carmel Bird "A most uncommon writer. Splendidly original." |  Baptism of Fire (1996) Christine Harris "A delightful book: delicately ironic, questioning, beautifully researched. I couldn't put it down." |  Stepper (1997) Brian Castro "A political story, a love story, a tale of espionage and duplicity... Witty, comic and at the same time immeasurably sad, it is written in prose as delicate and illuminating as a Hokusui engraving." |
