So much to admire in @lewoollett 's latest review, particularly how uninterested Woollett is in the decorum of auslit, except as an object of criticism in its own right. This essay looks right through Lee and her novel to the structures & markets that drive both.
.@lewoollett on Bri Lee's debut novel, 'The Work'. Read more → buff.ly/49sFrmF
@thebooksdesk @lewoollett damn (I needed this paragraph; thank you)
Oh this had me chuckling: "a work of commercial literary fic written with consideration for readers who enjoy Big Themes (art, money) but feel cheated if these themes aren’t signposted regularly." @lewoollett, as ever, great value here killyourdarlings.com.au/article/girlbo…
A most interesting article, and moniker to ponder, the 'literary multihyphenate'. It's timely considering the scramble for brands, markets and genre virtuosos.
Today in KYD, Laura Elizabeth Woollett writes: Bri Lee is a rare Australian literary multihyphenate. Given her knack for brand building, her debut novel offers a self-aware yet lukewarm parody of the uneasy relationship between art and money. buff.ly/43HNdb3
This week, @shawliterary turns 4! As ever, thanks for your support whenever I occasionally get excited about a book & bombard you somewhat! But it is so so satisfying, making a little contribution to literary culture from time to time with work from the oft-overlooked Antipodes!

What this article makes clear—and there are many more examples that are not included—is that there has been a sustained political effort from the status quo to suppress, censor, and otherwise punish anyone who dares to speak against our government’s war crimes.
We all really need to be alive to what’s happening and resisting this creeping authoritarian policing of art and artists speaking against war crimes and genocide. killyourdarlings.com.au/article/litera…
This is a good summation of the situation in Australian arts right now. killyourdarlings.com.au/article/litera…
'The pressure to censor writers from speaking out against, and making art about, Israel’s horrific assault on Gaza is not just coming from media commentators, wealthy board members or philanthropic donors ...' killyourdarlings.com.au/article/litera… @kyd_magazine
