When twelve-year-old Esther disappears on the way home from school in a small town in …

Dirt Town

4 stars

This is a novel so Australian that it goes from Milo to "no worries" to lamington in the course of a single paragraph.

Apart from that, it's kind of a typical crime novel following the investigation of a young teenage girl's disappearance.

The most interesting thing it does, in my opinion, is, among the chapters following various characters' viewpoints, adding "we" chapters that are meant to be kind of a combined viewpoint of the town's kids.

Nnedi Okorafor: Death of the Author (William Morrow) No rating

The future of storytelling is here.

Disabled, disinclined to marry, and more interested in writing …

My forthcoming novel DEATH OF THE AUTHOR (Jan 2025) is about death, disability, ability, the complexity of culture, immigrants & the next generations, machines, AI, gun ownership, creative writing, the space race, so much more. At its heart, it's about the power of STORYTELLING. And it has a hell of an ending.
