Critics, cancellation and cleanskin wine: the Australian novels satirising the art world

The art world can be a space of wonder, beauty, bravery, connection and community. As an art critic and art historian, I’ve spent the past decade swimming in these waters.

Tony Bennett, suave singer of I Left My Heart in San Francisco whose career spanned 70 years – obituary

Tony Bennett, who has died aged 96, sang as much with his heart as his voice. Primarily a showman, he was a better technician than his crooner’s reputation implied, but his appeal was founded less on the skill of his singing than its committed sincerity.

Across all the many millions of words written about Amy Winehouse since her death in 2011, it tends to be the darkness in her story that muscles its way into the foreground.

Though to be fair, Mannion gets a big laugh when he archly asks a...
