Sales has mixed feelings about a polemic questioning why society considers romantic relationships paramount when many people end up with a friend, parent or sibling as their closest person in a lifetime. Crabb’s been getting into an advice column, a crime podcast and a fascinating reality show about juries.
Read MoreOnce again, by accident this poorly-coordinated pair has stumbled into a theme. Women telling powerful and wide-ranging stories, including the counter-cultural paean to young men that is Helen Garner's latest. Starting a story and not knowing how it's going to end? Nothing more dangerous, nothing more exhilarating, especially in the hands of a skilled craftswoman. Tis the Season! Yule not be disappointed by this lineup; Naomi Klein, Pamela RAAAABE, Steph Tisdell and Virginia Trioli. Okay we'll see ourselves out.
