Scary Monsters by Michelle de Kretser
Told in two reversible halves, one follows a young Asian-Australian teacher in 1980s France as she navigates desire, friendship, and casual racism, while the other tracks a migrant bureaucrat in a near-future Australia tightening into surveillance and conformity; together, they probe migration, memory, and assimilation, revealing how fear shapes identity and how the pursuit of security can slide into complicity.
