I remain unconvinced that this tale of two grieving brothers and their messy relationships with women in their lives needed to be told over four hundred pages, but all in all I enjoyed Sally Rooney’s latest.
Orbital by Samantha Harvey – Book Review

I had an interesting experience with this unusual novel, showing that sometimes you need to be in a right frame of mind to appreciate a book.
Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang – Book Review

This collection of impressively varied sci-fi short stories is dry, cerebral and at times challenging, but ultimately I found it rewarding and stimulating in the best way science fiction can be.
MSO: Vivaldi and More @ Hamer Hall

Who doesn’t love Vivaldi’s Four Seasons? It’s one of my favourite pieces of classical music, and it was amazing to hear it live as performed by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.
Flow – Film Review

You don’t have to be a feline obsessive to fall in love with this magical and unique animated adventure about a cat surviving in the post-apocalyptic world.
John Grant @ Elisabeth Murdoch Hall

This stripped down show was a perfect opportunity to bask in John Grant’s smooth, velvety baritone and emotionally raw storytelling.
PJ Harvey @ Plenary Theatre

After an eight-year break, PJ Harvey’s glorious return to Melbourne is a strong contender for my favourite live show of hers that I’ve been to.
