New fiction and non-fiction book releases

This week's new book releases feature a variety of fiction and non-fiction works. In fiction, stories explore settings ranging from a frozen Paris during the 2012 winter freeze to an exclusive art camp in Greece, wartime Melbourne, and the Australian desert.

Amanda Curtin’s ‘Six Days’ follows an Australian expat in Paris navigating the city's Latin Quarter during extreme sub-zero temperatures. Additionally, Dave Eggers’ latest work, ‘Contrapposto’, is among the new releases.

Non-fiction titles cover diverse subjects including democracy, Australian exceptionalism, ADHD, masculinity, and specific chapters of Jewish history.
