A miserable misogynist is on a quest for redemption in Toltz’s fourth novel, which fizzes with dynamic prose but struggles to engender empathy for its protagonist Get our weekend culture and lifestyle email In his fourth novel, Steve Toltz – best known for the Booker prize-shortlisted A Fraction of the Whole – takes on the story of one man’s loneliness to deliver a satirical and surprisingly moving ode to human connection. Much like his earlier works, this one is filled with con men, tall tales and black humour, making for a bitingly funny exploration of life’s misfortunes. A Rising of the Lights opens with an absurd premise: two ne’er-do-well parents, in the middle of their divorce, roll dice to split up their twin children; one child will go with each parent. After winning him in this cruel game, Russell “Rusty” Wilson’s mother tells him they’ll be moving to Melbourne from Sydney – only to deem it “too much hassle”, circle the block and bring him right back to where they started. It’s an arresting opener that foreshadows the following 300 pages of Rusty’s life. Sign up for the fun stuff with our rundown of must-reads, pop culture and tips for the weekend, every Saturday morning A Rising of the Lights by Steve Toltz is out now in Australia (Penguin, $34.99) Continue reading...

straga/iStock via Getty Images Expand Energy ( EXE ) up 1.1% in Thursday's trading even as William Blair downgraded shares to Market Perform from Outperform with a $112 price target, believing the largest U.S. independent natural gas producer will need time to achieve its goals, which include a $0.20/Mcfe margin improvement to deliver ~$500M in annual free cash flow. The company has made strides monetizing volatility, although capturing new demand and integration will likely take quarters rather than weeks or months, William Blair analyst Neal Dingmann said, adding that while the shares trade at a slight discount to some gas-focused peers, much of the discount should last until executing meaningful advances beyond initial announcements. Expand ( EXE ) reported "solid" Q1 results earlier this week , generating $1.7B of free cash flow, which was primarily used to reduce leverage and fund shareholder returns, paying down $1.3B of gross debt, exiting the quarter with ~$2.8B of debt, and returning $290M to shareholders, Dingmann noted. While longer-term U.S. natural gas demand growth remains solid, tied to LNG, power generation, and industrial use, Expand's ( EXE ) timeline visibility remains limited, the analyst said, with much of the expected demand growth depending on infrastructure buildout and project execution, which are progressing more gradually than initially anticipated.
