Giramondo’s celebrated literary journal relaunches in a third series

Award-winning Sydney-based critic Mireille Juchau opens HEAT Series 3 Number 1 with a deeply reported essay that examines the aftermath of war. Melbourne writer Josephine Rowe follows with a dreamlike story about a young family in an enigmatic setting. Queenslander Sarah Holland-Batt contributes a quintet of poems that take us as far as Brazil, before a reimagining of The Decameron in the Adelaide Hills by Brian Castro. In closing, Mexican-American writer Cristina Rivera Garza shares a macabre quest that resonates long after reading.
