Gone
There can be no straight road home. A young man is released from a Sydney prison, his hands empty, his identity gone. He catches a southbound train out of town, then hitchhikes west. He hasn't been home for fifteen years. For days Frank rides the highway through an unforgiving landscape, surviving on what he finds and the kindness of strangers. As he edges closer to a home he struggles to remember, his boyhood looms. Out of the past,something is coming that will tear through his fragile hold. Chilling, haunting, suspenseful, Gone is a crossing into one man's splintered world. PRAISE FOR JENNIFER MILLS 'Deftly sympathetically and with a wry sureness of tone, Mills conjures a community so real its members come and go like familiars.' Weekend Australian 'Mills's shapely novel offers many unexpected rewards, not least the seductive lilt of its prose.' Advertiser 'A deft, subtle touch' Sun-Herald
The Diamond Anchor
"The Diamond Anchor is the story of two lives bound together by a shared past and an obligation to keep each others secrets. It explores ways in which women tell each others histories; the ways we depend on each other, invent each other, and the way that our stories turn on a sense of place. May writes: 'You're a story, Grace, and stories belong to places, stories live in the earth. You have to come from somewhere. You have to return there, if you want to know anything at all.'"--Provided by publisher.

Shooting Blanks at the Anzac Legend
War is traditionally considered a male experience. By extension, the genre of war literature is a male-dominated field, and the tale of the battlefield remains the privileged (and only canonised) war story. In Australia, although women have written extensively about their wartime experiences, their voices have been distinctively silenced. Shooting Blanks at the Anzac Legend calls for a re-definition of war literature to include the numerous voices of women writers, and further recommends a re-reading of Australian national literatures, with women’s war writing foregrounded, to break the hold of a male-dominated literary tradition and pass on a vital, but unexplored, women’s tradition.

After The Celebration
After the Celebration explores Australian fiction from 1989 to 2007, after Australia's bicentenary to the end of the Howard government. In this literary history, Ken Gelder and Paul Salzman combine close attention to Australian novels with a vivid depiction of their contexts: cultural, social, political, historical, national and transnational. From crime fiction to the postmodern colonial novel, from Australian grunge to 'rural apocalypse fiction', from the Asian diasporic novel to the action blockbuster, Gelder and Salzman show how Australian novelists such as Frank Moorhouse, Elizabeth Jolley, Peter Carey, Kim Scott, Steven Carroll, Kate Grenville, Tim Winton, Alexis Wright and many others have used their work to chart our position in the world. The literary controversies over history, identity, feminism and gatekeeping are read against the politics of the day. Provocative and compelling, After the Celebration captures the key themes and issues in Australian fiction: where we have been and what we have become.
