Chapter 3: Astrid presents Marion Wilkinson's 'The Carbon Club: How a network of influential climate sceptics, politicians and business leaders fought to control Australia's climate policy' and explains why it should be one of the few books that should stay in print for decades.
Recommendations: Jamila gushes over the biography of Bob Hawke 'Wednesdays with Bob', written by Derek Rielly and Bob Hawke himself.

Mark Brandi is an award-winning writer of literary crime. His stories tend to focus on the darkness in the world as experienced from young or disadvantaged protagonists. 'The Others' is his third - and perhaps most haunting - novel.
Mark's bestselling novel, 'Wimmera', won the coveted British Crime Writers' Association Debut Dagger, and was named Best Debut at the 2018 Australian Indie Book Awards. It was also shortlisted for the Australian Book Industry Awards Literary Fiction Book of the Year, and the Matt Richell Award for New Writer of the Year. His second novel, 'The Rip', was also published to critical acclaim.
Mark graduated with a criminal justice degree and worked extensively in the justice system, before changing direction and deciding to write. Originally from Italy, he grew up in rural Victoria. His shorter work has appeared in The Guardian, The Age, the Big Issue, and in journals both here and overseas. His writing is also sometimes heard on ABC Radio National.

Jamila Rizvi is back! We have missed her, and from this week Jamila is back leading our discussion of all things books.
Chapter 1: As they so often do, Jamila and Astrid consider the harder things in life. This week, the theme is darkness, and they reflect on what they like to read and when.
Chapter 2: Jamila introduces Jaivet Ealom's 2021 memoir, 'Escape from Manus'. Jaivet is the only person known to have escaped from Manus Island, and his life experience is truly extraordinary. Despite the darkness, this is a hopeful story. Jaivet now resides in Canada, where he is a spokesperson for the Rohingya community.
Chapter 3: Astrid turns to crime fiction and considers 'I Shot the Devil' by Ruth McIver. Whilst this is very much crime fiction, it is also so much more - it is a nuanced exploration of female trauma, grief and survival.
Recommendations: Astrid recommends Rachel Cusk's 'Second Place', which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 2021. Jamila returns to Amani Haydar's one-of-a-kind memoir, 'The Mother Wound'.
