Book review: Scary Monsters by Michelle de Kretser
Scary Monsters (2021) is a dual proposition, examining the past and the future in 1980s France and near-future Australia. Written by twice winner of the Miles Franklin Literary Award, Michelle de Kretser, this book comprises two separate stories, splitting the book in half and presenting the reader not only with two beautiful covers, but also with a choice: “what comes first, the future or the past?”
