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

This October, we have six new titles: a new collection from Chris Macheras, a translated work of historical fiction, an urgent memoir, and fascinating non-fiction investigating abuses of power in the legal and corporate worlds, and the effects of a political partnership.

Set through the 1910s, The Picture Bride follows three Korean women who make a life-changing journey to Hawai’i, leaving behind everything they had known to marry husbands they’ve seen only in one photograph. Cells moves through a sequence of remembered rooms through which Gavin McCrea examines and uncovers filial love and its limits, and attempts reconciliation with separation and loss. Servants of the Damned is a gripping work of narrative nonfiction revealing the story of ‘Big Law’ and the immense influence it wields to bury the secrets of the rich and powerful. Drawing on years of extensive research, economic data, and interviews, Hard Labour is a startling investigation of how and why wage theft has become endemic to some of Australia's best-known companies. The Long Alliance is an inside look at the complicated Biden–Obama relationship, and how this relationship is shaping a second presidential administration. The much anticipated follow-up to Old Vintage Melbourne, Old Vintage Melbourne, 1960–1990 invites you in to revisit Melbourne’s fascinating past and peer into the years that the city’s distinctive culture began to emerge.
