Now, Autonomy

Now, Autonomy

Max Easton

Traversing anarchist collectives and experiments in autonomous living, political protest and DIY activism, Max Easton’s third novel continues his thirty-year portrait of working-class life in subcultures and music scenes, exploring intergenerational political solidarity, and the ever-present risk of disillusionment under the heavy hand of the state. Now, Autonomy is a novel about the echoes of the past in the present; about the way in which history repeats, even if the lyrics don’t always rhyme.

Parramatta: A Dictionary of Place and Memory

Yumna Kassab

Fragmentary in form and spirit, driven by feeling and admiration and a sense of responsibility, Parramatta: A Dictionary of Place and Memory is a personal dictionary of the author’s home city. With a creative lineage tracing back to works by Jorge Luis Borges, Roberto Bolaño and Ida Vitale, the dictionary presents in an unassuming manner an intimate portrait of its compiler, along with an expansive vision of a burgeoning Western Sydney.

30 years of publishing

Giramondo celebrates 30 years of publishing in 2026. Our story began with HEAT literary magazine in 1996, and its founding commitment to publishing innovative Australian and international writers of the highest standard. We sought to bring adventurous work to readers, that might not otherwise find publication because of its subtle commercial appeal; to stimulate exchange in the Australian literary ecosystem and its counterparts overseas; and to build a common ground between the academy and the marketplace. We brought these same principles to our book publishing program, which began in 2002.

If you’d like to support our work and become a patron of independent publishing, consider one of our subscription products. Subscriptions are an investment towards a future of quality Australian literature, allowing our company to continue to make bold editorial choices, and to help writers develop their best work. We offer subscriptions to both HEAT magazine and Giramondo books, with multiple plans available.
