Zan Rowe and Madeleine Gray review: Chris Ames/Fiona Mozley/Niamh Campbell

Cassie McCullagh is joined by Jonathan Green this time, for a wide-ranging hour of new fiction, from Australia and beyond. First, Fiona Mozley’s unsettling Awake Awake, where a young woman begins to suspect her grandfather may have killed Adolf Hitler, Zan Rowe weighs in. Then, Irish writer Niamh Campbell’s Make Strange, a quietly eerie novel about a four-year-old asking impossible questions, including whether she’s lived before...Madeleine Gray gives her verdict. And we begin with a striking new Australian voice in the short story collection I Made This Just For You by Chris Ames. ~ OTHER BOOKS MENTIONED Elmet; Hot Stew, by Fiona Mozley What We Can Know, by Ian McEwan The Ruiners, by Ellena Savage The Shepherd's Life; A Place of Tides, by James Rebanks The Animators; Returns and Exchanges, by Kayla Rae Whitaker Fruit Fly, by Josh Silver Yellowface, by R.F.
