Loraine Peck’s The Second Son won the 2021 Ned Kelly Award for Best Debut Crime Fiction, and The Double Bind picks up where it left off. The Double Bind Loraine Peck, Text, $32.99 It’s a clever idea, but I wondered, given the drama observes Aristotelian unities, whether We Only Want What’s Best might be suited more to the stage than the page. Carolyn Swindel’s imagination has been exercised by the Bill Henson controversy, as well as darker headlines still. An awkward situation becomes tenser still when old photographs emerge of Zahra and other girls – inappropriately sexualised ones – and the families find themselves at loggerheads over the line between art and child exploitation. Their daughters, Becky and Zahra, have similar positions in the social pecking order at their dance troupe, which has organised for the girls to perform at Disneyland. Two dance mums, Bridget and Simone, don’t mix socially – but when Bridget is upgraded to business class on a long-haul flight to Los Angeles, they’re forced into uncomfortable proximity. We Only Want What’s Best Carolyn Swindel, Affirm, $34.99 In these stories, the follies of the lovestruck usually yield to bittersweet (and sometimes outright jaded) insight, with wisdom lurking under the wit. The motley cast of characters includes a harried receptionist who goes to work in a bridesmaid’s dress, an elderly man who mistakes his super-expensive hearing aid for a snack, and a woman facing a Dante-like punishment for adultery – she’s forced to help her husband’s ex-wife move house.

If Katherine Heiny’s novels Standard Deviation and Early Morning Riser passed you by, this collection of short stories will serve as a sparkling introduction. Games and Rituals Katherine Heiny, Fourth Estate, $29.99 ![]() Is this a form of auto-voyeurism? A spotlight on a nobody? Flattery has the intellectual and aesthetic cunning, and the command of style, to make this enigmatic book work. It’s a masterclass in literary voice-creation, told in such an abrasive, self-absorbed, and heavily ironic tone that it sounds like the memory of an adolescent mind vacated by someone older but no wiser. Warhol barely appears, and the focus is squarely on Mae just being a disaffected teenager. The story of how Mae came to be at The Factory in the late sixties avoids the common pitfalls of fiction inspired by celebrity. She was one of two schoolgirls who typed taped conversations for the project. For Mae, the narrator of Nicole Flattery’s Nothing Special, it was collaborating on an experimental artwork (entitled A Novel) with Andy Warhol. Nothing Special Nicole Flattery, Bloomsbury, $29.99Įveryone gets their 15 minutes of fame.
