So that's a new book called The Water Takes that's just come out.
But have you got another example that you think does that sort of sense of climate justice or that somehow engages with it in a way that you think is really good?
Oh, Kim Scott, That Dead Man Dance.
What an extraordinary book.
And thank you for reminding us of it.
And I should also say that this is ABC Radio National's The Bookshelf with me, Kate Evans, and with guest Tony Burch, whose books include Women and Children, Dark as Last Night, and Pictures of You.
Now, it's taken us a long time to get back to the collection of short stories that sort of sparked this conversation.

You're listening to ABC Radio National's The Bookshelf with me, Kate Evans, and Professor Tony Birch from the University of Melbourne, poet, novelist, short story writer.
Tony, for a couple of years, you were one of the judges of the Stella Prize for women and non-binary writers.
