COLIN STEELE reviews two books about writers, both revealing in different ways.
Review

CON BOEKEL reviews an exhibition of forgotten images taken in Texas in 1972-73 by Judith Macdougall and curated by her husband David.
"Canadian play The Drawer Boy is a good find. On an imaginative but spare set by Chris Baldock, drawn images of cows and a farm frame the kitchen of a house with a few secrets," writes reviewer ALANNA MACLEAN.
GRAHAM McDONALD reviews Haydn’s Miracle, a performance by Australian Haydn Ensemble.
"Takács Quartet showed why it is regarded as one of the world’s great string quartets, with consummate performances from its core classical repertoire framing an ambitious new work commissioned by Musica Viva," writes reviewer NICK HORN.
MICHELLE POTTER reviews Mandolina Ballerina, a performance by the Canberra Mandolin Orchestra and guest dancer Tessa Karle.
"Whatever charm the original production may have had appears to have evaporated in this production." Reviewer BILL STEPHENS isn't thrilled about Waltzing The Wilarra.
"Inspired by the many acts of heroism and sacrifice by those who fought in World War II, the concert, Greater Love, honoured those heroes through the power of music," writes reviewer LEN POWER.
"The Phoenix Collective swept into Wesley Music Centre for a night of exhilarating music that definitely left an absorbed audience wanting more," writes reviewer ALANNA MACLEAN.
New Zealand crime writing is notable for incorporating NZ's unique cultural landscape, including Maori culture and history, writes book reviewer ANNA CREER.
"It’s hard to do justice to the detail of what was going on but there was a strong sense that justice was being done to Bach’s steady morally and musically persuasive works." ALANNA MACLEAN reviews a performance by Canberra Bach Ensemble.
