SCARY MONSTERS (2021) by Michelle de Kretser tells a binary tale of two immigrants, their stories playfully, hauntingly interacting with the help of the reader’s own devices. A Miles Franklin award winner, it strikes me as essential 21st Century Australian fiction. It's also one of my favorite reads of 2022.
