An author sweats and toils to birth a tome with such colossal cultural impact, it has the power to retune the entire world to a whole new frequency. This is absolutely not one of those books. Not even close. And actually, that all sounds a bit much really, doesnt it? Rhys Nicholson is a multi-award winning comedian, writer and busy mum with an anxiety disorder, a complicated relationship with food and a book deal. In Dish, a debut whack at writing an entire book, Nicholson is reaching out to get some stuff straight in their head. Through a series of revealing stories, intrusive thoughts and a recipe here and there, theyre hoping to ruminate, gossip and generally have a deeply private, wide-ranging conversation with themselves about a whole bunch of lifes smaller questions.

Whats going on with heterosexual men, and are they okay? This is a semi-stream-of-consciousness written tapestry, squeezed out by a profoundly apprehensive overthinker whos doing their best to unapologetically stop apologising.

One day John offered Paul the chance of a lifetime: he'd spill his guts on tape. What unfolded in Loose Units was a goldmine of true-crime stories, showcasing John's dramatic experience of policing in Sydney in the 1980s and brilliantly twisted sense of humour.
