|author=Dorthe Nors
|title=Karate Chop, and Minna Needs Rehearsal Space
|rating=3.5
|genre=Short Stories
|summary=The reviewer picks up the book.<br>
The book is called ''Minna Needs Rehearsal Space''.<br>
The book is entirely made out of one-sentence paragraphs.<br>
The one-sentence paragraphs are very seldom poetic, but normally are grammatically correct sentences.<br>
The one-sentence paragraphs on the whole have just one verb, unless regarding that from reported or unreported speech.<br>
The book concerns a middle-aged musician and composer who does indeed need rehearsal space.<br>
The book concerns a woman who suddenly gets more space than she wants when her boyfriend leaves her.<br>
The boyfriend's departure causes a lot of people crowding around Minna, which causes a problem.<br>
The problem might be resolved by a trip away from her city flat.<br>
The title of the book might be ironic.

|title=The Narrow Road to the Deep North
|author=Richard Flanagan
|rating=4.5
|genre=Literary Fiction
|summary=''The Narrow Road to the Deep North'' is the title of both Flanagan's Booker Prize-longlisted sixth novel and a book by seventeenth-century Japanese poet Basho. Poetry irradiates this often bleak story of Australian POWs building the Burma Death Railway during the Second World War, presenting beauty and love as counterpoints to gory descriptions of suffering and inhumanity.
