Thank you so much, Sam, for the mention of my piece which I have to say is a bit of a marmite one! I also love Helen Garner’s diaries, in fact it was you who persuaded me to read them, and I have pre-ordered her new book off the back of Nick Hornby’s review in the New York Times, I just cannot wait, it will be a masterclass in narrative non-fiction, as House of Grief was. I also loved The Spare Room and want to read again, and have Monkey Grip on my TBR list. Thanks for another great round-up!

That football one has been delayed in the uk, to make way for her mushroom murders collab I believe. On tenterhooks for both

Great list and round up, thank you. Have read some of the recommended articles including your own this week. I have a Garner book reserved in my local library. I am hearing and reading so much about her I need to get acquainted with her work. Happy weekend 😁🎉
