A Love Supreme: The Creation of John Coltrane’s Classic Album by Ashley Khan

The Coconut Children by Vivian Pham
A brilliant debut from a new Australian literary talent, The Coconut Children reunites two childhood friends. A hopeful and moving coming of age story, which is already garnering high praise for the prodigiously talented Vivian Pham. More at Penguin. 
We’re All Going to Die: and Why That’s Kinda Awesome by Stefan Hunt
In the vein of Apathetical Sydney, author and illustrator, Stefan Hunt’s book is somewhat of a self-help volume, dressed in the style of children’s literature. Themes of life, death and the fear of failure are confronted here, imploring us to live our best lives. Via Pantera. 
Greenwood by Michael Christie
This strikingly original narrative takes us to the future, present and past, exploring the connections of one family to their place in the world—a setting deep in the wilds of the Canadian forest. For more information, visit Scribe. 
Hurricane Season by Fernanda Melchor
Inspired by real events, Hurricane Season examines the fallout after the death of a village’s Witch, who was a significant member of this rural Mexican community. Swirling with violence, dark suspense and intense fury from the pen of Melchor. See Text for more.
