We publish books that matter — narrative and literary nonfiction on important topics, and the best of local, international, and translated fiction.

We have five new books out this month — some that will make excellent Christmas gifts and others that you can keep for yourself and read in the sunshine.

Crimes Against Nature is an important polemic about global warming and the environmental crisis by one of Australia’s most progressive writers, Jeff Sparrow; James Curran’s Campese tells the story of the enigmatic Wallaby star David Campese and his rise from humble beginnings to the very top of a global sport; Christmas in Suburbia is the latest project by celebrated photographer Warren Kirk — a vibrant postcard book of his collected Christmas snapshots; Best Australian Political Cartoons 2021 is Russ Radcliffe’s summary of the year in politics as observed by Australia’s funniest and most perceptive political cartoonists; and Down and Out in England and Italy is Alberto Prunetti’s wry, filthy, and unputdownable look at class and national identity today.
