Jasper Jones – Craig Silvey’s Great Read

Japer Jones is a great read.

Jasper Jones is a great read.

We are hearing some great reviews of Craig Silvey’s new novel Jasper Jones published by Allen and Unwin.

The talk is that it gets you in from the first page and seems to have equal appeal to men and women.

You might remember that Silvey’s first novel Rhubarb was chosen as the Book of the Festival a few years back.

You might also be interested to hear Craig Silvey talk about Jasper Jones at the UWA Spring extension talks in October. The tickets are $20 and you have to book.



Perth’s Best Bars

We talk with a lot of people, and they tell us what they doing and what they are enjoying.  It might be a new bar, a great movie, some wonderful place for lunch … we get to hear who is getting it right for our customers.

We’ve decided to share these recommendations with you. We’ve named our blog Sheer Brilliance.

If you’d like to stay in touch with what people are enjoying you can subscribe via email or RSS feed.

This week we are celebrating the sheer brilliance of three of our favourite watering holes.
