PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Rory McCourt's background is in graphic design, advertising and film production. He co-wrote, with Boyd Anderson, the novel Children of the Dust under the name Anderson McCourt. Most of his career was spent in Sydney but he now lives in Queensland's Whitsunday region where, apart from writing, he works with local groups on environmental issues.
The novel No Killing Sky is an eco- thriller for our times. Published by New Internationalist, the novel clearly has a critical message about the imminent dangers and possibilities brought about by the unmitigated ravages of climate change. Non-fiction writers such as Naomi Klein, Clive Hamilton, and Arundhati Roy give us analyses of the interrelationships between politics, environmental justice, climate science and a myriad of social concerns; McCourt has taken up the serious issue of climate change and delivered a compelling story -Customer review by Jacqueline Widin.
