AWW21 Words and Worlds - Malcolm Knox and Jacqueline Maley

Malcolm Knox and Jacqueline Maley are highly respected
journalists, each a recipient of Australian journalism’s highest
honour, the Walkley Award.  But beyond the world of
reporting, each has chosen to mine their imagination to great
effect. Now with six novels to his name, Malcolm’s latest is
Bluebird, an incisive satire on the Australian Dream, set amongst
sand and surf and broken dreams, that once again demonstrates his
mastery of contemporary realism. Jacqueline’s acclaimed debut
novel is The Truth About Her¸ another slice of social realism
that deals with the fallout from the suicide of a wellness
blogger following a hard hitting expose by an investigative
journalist.
