The beautiful page proofs of ‘Enchanted Creatures’ (Aug 29) just arrived from W&N and I can’t wait to get my teeth into them 👹

'I’m not interested in psychopaths. I’m interested in ordinary people who one day flip out...' I interviewed the great Australian writer Helen Garner - whose novels, reportage and diaries are all essential - for this weekend's FT Weekend: ft.com/content/2f37ef…

We're now just days away from MORAL INJURIES being published and Christie Watson is going on tour to discuss her brand new heart-pounding thriller about secrets, lies, morals and medicine. 🖤

Is one of the country’s finest writers about to get her moment in the sun?

As three modern classics are republished in the UK, she talks to the FT on.ft.com/49EIfOz
