1 4 y separately published work icon The Voice of the Thunderer : Journalism of H. G. Kippax H. G. Kippax , Harry Payne Heseltine (editor), Canberra : Pandanus Books , 2006 Z1275436 2006 selected work prose This fascinating collection of reporting and comment by H. G. Kippax offers a detailed eye-witness picture of Australia and the world over 40 years. Kippax wrote for the Sydney Morning Herald from 1938 to 1983... and became best known as a fine theatre and drama critic. His Editorials from the Herald from the late 1950s to the early 80s covered subjects as diverse as city planning, censorship, the Sydney Opera House, the Melbourne Cup and Anzac Day. The Voice of the Thunderer highlights both the breadth of Kippax's interests and the felicity of his prose style - always lucid and well-informed; plain-spoken, pungent, evocative by turns, as his subjects required. It reveals him as one of Australia's most versatile and distinguished print journalists. (Backcover)

1 4 y separately published work icon Venom Dorothy Horsfield , Canberra : Pandanus Books , 2006 Z1232346 2006 single work novel 'Under mountain skies amidst the ragged litter of the bush are the hidden burrows of one of the world's most deadly creatures: funnel-web spiders. When young mother Madeleine Henderson joins Dr Paddy Jones in his project to find the funnel-webs of Australia's high country, her estranged husband's escalating jealousy enmeshes her in a web of lies, betrayal and political machinations. Grief, love, funnel-webs and Federal politics are set against the beauty of an ancient landscape in this keenly observed novel that explores the line between human ambitions and frailties, and the venomous impulses we share with the spider-world.'
