Over these ten years the \u003ci\u003eSRB\u003c\/i\u003e has cleared a unique space for serious reflection on literature and for critical thinking about our culture more broadly. The journal has been shaped by the diverse aesthetic, political and critical dispositions of our contributors, each of whom has different questions to ask contemporary literature. As they've asked these questions, they've guided a bold and independent public conversation about literature, and especially about the many forms of Australian literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCritic Swallows Book\u003c\/i\u003e brings together twenty-two essays that together demonstrate the eclecticism of the \u003ci\u003eSydney Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e. It includes essays on decolonising Australian literature and revisiting the classics, on blockbuster fiction and book-length poetry, on modernism in the Antipodes and reading during the pandemic.
