This House of Grief and a cup of coffee on a marbled tablet
I’m not a fan of #truecrime and disliked #InColdBlood, but @clairewords.bsky.social recommended #ThisHouseofGrief by #HelenGarner so I gave it a go and – what a book! So relentlessly questioning and insightful. Such precise, unfussy writing. I’m in awe.

Ultimately it is for a jury to decide and a judge to sentence.
As the American writer Janet Malcolm said in her magisterial work ‘The Journalist and the Murderer,’
“Jurors sit there presumably weighing evidence but in actuality they are studying character.”

"One wild domestic detail galvanises us: his dying aunt remembered that the guests ate off four grey plates, while the hostess served herself on an orange one.
On day five we get in the car."

3 literary authors take a road trip, deciding to follow a courtroom trial of murder by poison.

#HelenGarner declared her farewell tour with the publication of The Season, but has swiftly returned with #TheMushroomTapes. When an ambulance passes, someone must pursue it to ask the deep, moral and honest questions. Always intriguing.

Helen Garner takes the Baillie Gifford Prize for her diaries. Raw, plain-spoken, deeply Australian. When the personal is this fearless, it stops belonging only to one life. Proud of her, proud of us. #HelenGarner #BaillieGifford #AusLit #OngoingNow

Helen Garner's Raw Materials wins Baillie Gifford Prize: unflinching diaries fueling non-fiction's dive into cultural depths. In Oz, it underscores how personal tales connect us regionally—gentle fuel for communal reflection.

Predicted this 5 months ago. Does this mean Garner’s predictable? And why didn’t they title it Tender Loins? Emotive, sexy yet factual, ahh, poetry. Better than #TheMushroomTapes. #auspol #helengarner #auslit #ozlit #erinpatterson

‘This was modern life, then, this seamless logic, this common sense, this silent tit-for-tat. This was what people did. He did not like it. He hated it. But he was in its moral universe now, and he could never go back.’

Thick emotions in conflict.There is always the shadow side of our happiness.The private thought of his wife alone in their house.He speaks of her, but not of it. Perhaps all happiness has its shadow, or has to be supported by the sorrow of someone else.
