Collections

Books

In 2012 Radok’s book An Opening: twelve love stories about art was published by Wakefield Press. It was long listed for the inaugural Stella Prize for writing by women, and was widely reviewed.[19] "Radok shows how art reaches deeply into our lives in unexpected and ordinary ways: the tattered calendar cutting kept for decades and left behind in a photocopier, the postcard stuck to a laundry wall, or the persistent memory of something, seen perhaps only briefly, that alters one’s thinking utterly." Dr Michele McCrea[20], Transnational Literature.[19]

"These are love stories, passages about loved works and intersections with moments, places and people which are close to the author’s heart. This volume is an open heart turned to another – sufficient on any given day to remake the world".[21] Jenny McFarlane, Art Monthly Australasia.

In 2021 Radok’s book Becoming a Bird: untold stories about art was published by Wakefield Press.

"Becoming a Bird is a gentle, deeply personal indulgence by Stephanie Radok, a noted Australian writer and artist, where she reflects and recalls memories, as she visits museums and galleries around the world."[22]

"It has taken over a whole week to read this short book because the author kept tempting me to explore the work of the artists about whom she writes so enticingly."[23]

"Radok describes her latest book as 'connecting[ing] stories about travel and home, museums and memory, art and freedom, reverie and nest-building with what is at hand'. With a chapter for each month of the year, her writing often starts with a postcard or some kind of artwork which brings forth thoughts and memories of the many galleries and museums she has visited and the artists she has researched, drawing connections with others, with Indigenous culture, and with the natural world in which she finds herself. They are musings that spark our own thoughts about art and life."[24]
