On this ABC Radio broadcast, a panel of writers, critics and podcasters discuss books that they particularly enjoyed reading in 2021 (although not necessarily published in 2021). Also discussed are past favourites (some read as far back as in their teens) and recent discoveries; all the books are heartily recommended by one or more of the panel members.
Writers whose works are featured on the show include Colm Tóibín, Alex Garland, Marian Engel, Haruki Murakami, Helen Garner, J.D. Salinger, Maggie Shipstead, Sarah Krasnostein, Stephen King, Lauren Groff and Jonathan Franzen.
