Blanche d’Alpuget’s Hawke: The Prime Minister (MUP) sits at number one on the most mentioned chart this week. The release of this book coincides with the announcement of the federal election and the screening of the Hawke miniseries, all of which shouldn’t hurt sales. Other local titles in the chart included Roddy Parr (Peter Rose, Fourth Estate) and Gunshot Road (Adrian Hyland, Text). My Friend the Mercenary (James Brabazon, Text) and Inheritance (Nicholas Shakespeare, Harvill Secker) also received a number of mentions this week—Media Extra.
