Book Review: The Beige Index

The Whitewash and The Beige Index

By Siang Lu

Published by University of Queensland Press

RRP$32.99

 

Emerging Queensland writer Siang Lu has won accolades for his novel The Whitewash by luminaries such as Benjamin Law who described it as “an utter fever-dream of a mockumentary, drawing on truths from life-life racism and film history that it sometimes hurts to laugh at what you're reading because it cuts so close to the bone.

“Audacious, original and a kick to the guts – in the best possible way.”

Mother's Day 2022

Mother's day 2022

Happy Mother's Day to all mums, grandmas, stepmoms, adoptive mums and mums-in-law.

If you've been fortunate to have had a grandmother or two or a grandma figure in your lives, you probably had a wonderful childhood.

My cousin Josephine Chua remembers her grandmother fondly.

"It must have been difficult for Mak to run a household of 11 children and three servants to help, but she came through with flying colours," she reminisced.
