Judges’ comments:
“In a strong and diverse field of entries, Juchau stood out for her insightful contextualisation of the work, elegant storytelling and depth of research. The Sydney-based novelist and critic’s standout review revisited a 1966 book about dreaming in Nazi Germany and considered the ways authoritarian regimes – past and present – can impact the collective unconscious.”
