What's hot in the media - 18 August 2008Two children's books nabbed the top spots on our Most Mentioned chart this week, one of them being Aaron Blabey's Pearl Barley and Charlie Parsley.Published 18 August, 2008 
Two children's books nabbed the top spots on our Most Mentioned chart this week, one of them being Aaron Blabey's Pearl Barley and Charlie Parsley. The two characters in the title are different in every way, yet they are best friends ... how does it work? Germaine Greer has been hard at work promoting her portion of Melbourne University Publishing's 'On' series. Greer's essay On Rage has stirred interest (and controversy) in literary circles, as she delivers her version of what rage is and why it exists among men in Australia's Aboriginal community. Most mentioned in the media this week: 1 Pearl Barley and Charlie Parsley by Aaron Blabey 2 Parsley Rabbit's Book about Books by Frances Watts and David Legge 3 Jon Cattapan: Possible Histories by Chris McAuliffe 5 Requiem for a Beast by Matthew Ottley http://www.booksellerandpublisher.com.au/articles/2008/08/09166/ More from Book News Archive
