Alexis Wright returns to non-fiction in her new
book, Tracker, a collective memoir of the charismatic
Aboriginal leader, political thinker, and entrepreneur
Tracker Tilmouth. This book is as much a tribute to the role
played by storytelling in contemporary Aboriginal life as it
is to the legacy of a remarkable man. Hugh Riminton has been witness to pivotal moments
in Australian history - from the Port Arthur massacre to
the political dramas of Canberra, receiving almost every
journalism award Australia has to offer. Minefields is
Hugh’s story of over forty years on the frontline of the
news game.
THE TRAUMA CLEANER DANGER MUSIC
Sarah Krasnostein
RRP $32.99 Eddie Ayres
RRP $32.99
Sarah Krasnostein has watched the extraordinary Sandra
Pankhurst bring order and care to the living and the dead
- and the book she has written is equally extraordinary.
Not just the compelling story of a fascinating life among
lives of desperation, but an affirmation that, as isolated
as we may feel, we are all in this together. In Danger Music, Eddie takes us through the chaos
of Kabul, into the lives of the Afghan children who
are transported by Bach and their own Afghan music.
Alongside these experiences, Emma determines to take
steps to secure her own peace; she becomes the man
always there inside - Eddie.
