The Unknown TerroristThe author of The Sound of One Hand Clapping and Gould’s Book of Fish has come up with a veritable novel "for our times". Here is a gripping tale of Australia (well, Sydney at least) in the midst of a terror campaign.


BOOK REVIEW

Beyond the clichés of US colonisation of Australia

FILM REVIEW

BOOK REVIEW
