And I'm Cassie McCullough, coming to you after a very eventful week in the book world from the New South Wales Premier's Literary Awards.
the Book Industry Association of Australia Awards and the Sydney Writers Festival.
More on all of that soon.
And I should say that today's guests have all been judges of literary awards.
The literary editor of The Australian, Stephen Ramey, novelist Suzanne Leal and academic and writer Bernadette Brennan.
Well, yes, we'll see.
Also, new Australian fiction from Jenny Acklin, Little Gods, with an impressive 12-year-old girl at its centre.
And David Peace's fragmentary tribute to a Japanese writer in the book Patient X.
Well, Kate Evans, it's a week on since the Sydney Writers' Festival.
