Thanks to the Bermagui U3A, I was introduced by one of our fantastic teachers, Debra Cushion, to the David Unaipon Award. This annual award is to acknowledge previously unpublished Indigenous writers, and is supported by the national treasure which is the University of Queensland Press.

Jeremy Heimans and Henry Timms, New Power: How power works in our hyperconnected world – and how to make it work for you. $32.99
For someone totally uninterested in technology like me, this was a difficult book, but one that I acknowledge is important as I try to understand the changing world. There was a wealth of information about the new media, emerging industries, new ways of organising for social change; I learnt of organisations of which I … Read more »

Reni Eddo-Lodge , Why I’m no longer talking to white people about race $28.00
The genesis for this book lies in a blog written by the author, who is a journalist. She wrote of her frustration about the manner in which race and racism is being discussed in the UK. Her ideas went viral, and resulted in her decision to write this book.
This book is not for the faint-hearted white reader who refuses to acknowledge the structural … Read more »

Richard Fidler and Kari Gislason, Saga Land: The island of stories at the edge of the world, $39.99
I chose this book for the Triangle review because I presume many readers are fans of Richard Fidler’s interviews on ABC radio. I also recently read his book, Ghost Empire, relating the trip to Turkey he took with his son, and loved it. I was also interested in the book because I know virtually nothing about Iceland.
The structure of Saga Land is interesting: the two authors write … Read more »

In his endorsement of this book, the Australian author, Peter Carey, recommended that it be read by every Prime Minister and President. I heartedly agree (bet they are really interested in my recommendations!)

David Lagercrantz The girl who takes an eye for an eye $32.99
Reviewed by Heather O’Connor February 2018
I’m sure many of you read the trilogy written by Steig Larson about the amazing Lisbeth Salander. Following Larson’s death, some arrangement must have been made with the family to continue the series, which was a world-wide success. The result is this novel, but it’s rather difficult to recognise the original Lisbeth. She seems to have … Read more »
