Trade Paperback. Zustand: Fine. First Edition. 386 pages. Bright glossy book with just a small amount of evidence of having been read. A little corner wear and a small spine reading crease. Two laid in First Look bank postcard blank. Double spaced manuscript format. A letter bound in from the editor extolling the virtues. Award…winning Australian novelist's story of the years she spent performing on the streets of New York and New Orleans with her father. It is the life of a busker. In this memoir, Mandy Sayer recounts the years she spent performing on the streets with her father, Gerry Sayer who was a jazz drummer, a beguiling Irish charmer with a million stories and an insatiable love for jam sessions and all-night parties. Mandy grew up captivated by his outrageous tales even after he left the family for good and her mother descended into the distance of drink. When her siblings failed him by rejecting the bohemian performing life, Mandy saw her chance to become a character in his stories, part of the only life he really loved. So she learned to tap dance, and they set off together to satisfy their grand ambitions on the toughest stage in the world - New York. This memoir by Ms. Sayer, who has been named one of the ten best young Australian novelists, is not only an account of the culture of street performing but a deeper story of her transformation from a girl searching for her father's love into a woman who could find her own voice. The people portrayed in this book are real and the events described took place but fictional names and descriptive detail have sometimes been used. Dreamtime Alice is filled with vivid, gorgeous, musical writing and while it invites comparison to THE LIAR'S CLUB and ANGELA'S ASHES, it is an absolute original.

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. First Edition, First Printing. In this vivid, seductive, gorgeously written memoir, Mandy Sayer recounts the fascinating years she spent performing on the streets of New York and New Orleans with her father. Gerry Sayer was a jazz drummer, a beguiling Irish charmer w…ith a million stories and an insatiable love for jam sessions and all-night parties. When her siblings failed her father by rejecting the bohemian performing life, Mandy saw her chance to become a character in his stories, part of the only life he really loved. So she learned to tap dance, and they set off together to satisfy their grand ambitions on the toughest stage in the world--New York. They became part of the thrilling, precarious world of street performers--jugglers, magicians, fire-eaters, dancers--who eked out their livings at the mercy of the elements, the cops, complaining neighbors, and lurking thieves. Entwined with this singular story of a busker's life is the deeper, more intimate story of Mandy's transformation from a girl searching for her father's love into a woman who could invent her own language and find her own voice. DREAMTIME ALICE is a triumphant record of a young woman's self-discovery, the discovery that she could create her own story at last. As new, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket. A75.

Pulitzer Prize-winning author Thomas Keneally's DJ blurb exults: "What a pilgrimage is 'Dreamtime Alice,' with its wonderful strangeness, its sense of both Australian and American place and identity, its vivacity, its energy and its narrative power to charm. This is wonderful storytelling from a novelist Australians already know but who deserves a host of U.S. readers as well." LF. Signed by Author(s).

Hardcover. Zustand: Collectible-Very Good. I danced and danced because the neon light across the road had just blinked on, because it was the middle of spring, because I was twenty-one, because my father was playing beside me. . . .' In this vivid, seductive, gorgeously written memoir, Mandy Sayer recounts the fascinating years…she spent performing on the streets of New York and New Orleans with her father. Gerry Sayer was a jazz drummer, a beguiling Irish charmer with a million stories and an insatiable love for jam sessions and all-night parties. Mandy grew up captivated by his outrageous tales even after he left the family for good and her mother descended into the distance of drink. When her siblings failed him by rejecting the bohemian performing life, Mandy saw her chance to become a character in his stories, part of the only life he really loved. So she learned to tap-dance, and they set off together to satisfy their grand ambitions on the toughest stage in the world--New York. Driven by their dream of making it big, Mandy and Gerry arrived in the city with no place to stay and only costumes to their names. They became part of the thrilling, precarious world of street performers--jugglers, magicians, fire-eaters, dancers--who eked out their livings at the mercy of the elements, the cops, complaining neighbors, and lurking thieves. In cinematic detail, Sayer tells of the first exhilarating season in New York City, earning $200 a night on Columbus Avenue; offsetting the physical pain of endless performance with the incomparable rush that accompanied it; the long, difficult winter in New Orleans, surviving on avocados and raw vegetables in unheated apartments; and their final unforgettable return to New York. Entwined with this singular story of a busker's life is the deeper, more intimate story of Mandy's transformation from a girl searching for her father's love into a woman who could invent her own language and find her own voice. For ultimately Dreamtime Alice is a triumphant record of a young woman's discovery that she could create her own story at last.
