Just three Aboriginal writers appeared in Radio National’s poll. There was little sense of the breadth and creativity of our First Nations writing scene.

The ABC’s Top 100 books poll lacks diversity. Here are my 10 First Nations ‘books of the 21st century’

There is a growing body of First Nations titles being published every year. The massive success of authors such as Wright and Lucashenko – Wright alone has won two Miles Franklin awards and two Stella prizes – signals a long-overdue recognition of First Nations literary excellence.

Given this, here are ten First Nations books from the past 25 years (in no particular order) I would nominate for the books of the century.

Anyone read any of these? I’ve shamefully not read any.
