For the love of reading.
Every quarter, Underline will bring together extracts, interviews, articles, short stories, reflections and much more to celebrate brilliant writing in its many forms.
Designed to be dog-eared and devoured at your leisure, this is a chance to pause and delve a little further into some of the world’s finest literature, and the minds behind it.
This issue includes an interview with Tim Winton, a short story from Lauren Groff, Morris Gleitzman’s reflection on his new role as Australian Children’s Laureate and an extract from Sofija Stefanovic's memoir.
We hope you enjoy leafing through these pages as much as we did compiling them.
