Last Wednesday was Indigenous Literacy Day and we were thrilled to see so many of our customers snapping up books from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island writers, several of which have appeared on our bestsellers list for the week. This includes non-fiction from Bruce Pascoe (Dark Emu, Salt) and Tyson Yunkaporta (Sand Talk), a memoir from actor Jack Charles, and Melissa Lucashenko’s Miles Franklin Award-winning novel, Too Much Lip.
