Our bestselling book of last week is the latest Quarterly Essay in which economist Richard Denniss looks at how neoliberalism ate itself, and considers what comes next.

Other bestselling non-fiction books include Marcia Langton’s curated guidebook to Indigenous Australia and the Torres Strait Islands, Bri Lee’s incredible memoir that our reviewer says ‘sears with white-hot feminist rage’, a hilarious new essay collection from popular humorist David Sedaris, an anthology of writing about the Israel occupation of the West Bank, and a genre-busting book from Maria Tumarkin that uniquely combines narrative, reportage and essay.

Fiction bestsellers include novels from Michael Ondaatje, Heather Morris and Gail Honeyman, as well as this year’s utterly charming Pulitzer Prize winner from Andrew Sean Greer.
