The Sydney Morning Herald has curated a selection of ten notable recent publications spanning both fiction and nonfiction that merit readers' attention [1]. The fiction selections include works by Meg Mason titled "Sophie, Standing There," Colson Whitehead's "Cool Machine," and novels by Glenn Orgias, Sally Piper, and Jaclyn Moriarty, each presenting distinct narratives across diverse characters and experiences [1]. Whitehead, a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, contributes significantly to the literary lineup [1].
The nonfiction collection features five works addressing historical and political subjects [1]. Amy Remeikis offers political commentary in "Screw Nice," while Craig Collie's "Major Hashida's Notebook" recounts a historical episode from January 1941 when a Japanese Army Lieutenant Colonel Hashida visited Australia [1]. Additional nonfiction titles by Amanda Tattersall, Mike Carlton, and Scott Clayton round out the selection [1]. Among these works is "The Burning Blue," which explores the history of the Royal Australian Air Force [1].
