Anna and Geoff discuss the challenges facing our local
bookstores:
rising taxes in the UK and a
cyber-hacking event affecting a major distributor in Australia.
We also take a look at the current front-runners for the
Booker
Prize.
Our book of the week is debut novel
ALL THEM DOGS by Djamel White. A gritty neo-noir story about
Tony Ward who returns to Dublin and starts working for an enforcer
in a local gang, it has been long listed for the 2026 Booker
Prize.
We talk about:
What makes a good underworld crime
thriller and what are some of the pitfalls for literary authors
venturing into this area.
