Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. *Winner of the 2016 Miles Franklin Literary Award*Black Rock White City is a novel about the damages of war, the limits of choice, and the hope of love. During a hot Melbourne summer Jovan's cleaning work at a bayside hospital is disrupted by acts of graffiti and violence becoming increasingly… malevolent. For Jovan the mysterious words that must be cleaned away dislodge the poetry of the past. He and his wife Suzana were forced to flee Sarajevo and the death of their children.Intensely human, yet majestic in its moral vision, Black Rock White City is an essential story of Australia's suburbs now, of displacement and immediate threat, and the unexpected responses of two refugees as they try to reclaim their dreams. It is a breathtaking roar of energy that explores the immigrant experience with ferocity, beauty and humour.'What impresses first about A.S. Patric's novel is the assuredness of the writing, his accomplished and confident language. But what is most moving is the humanity of his story, the vividness and truth of his characters' emotional worlds. Black Rock White City is a bold, mature and compassionate novel, and I couldn't put it down.' - Christos TsiolkasView Reading Group notes here *Winner of the 2016Miles FranklinLiterary Award* Black Rock White City Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. In this deeply intimate and strikingly beautiful poetry collection, twice-shortlisted Miles Franklin Award author Gregory Day celebrates the ongoing wonders of the earth and sea while calling time on the superficial divisions we have created between ideas of nature and culture.Southsightedness… offers a way of being as well as seeing. It details a very direct and local world but one made universal by the poet's art. This is a world of reality and the imagination, a world of damaged and regenerating ecologies, where the poet lives surrounded by family, animals, weather, sport, tourism, and the layers of history.With lyrical craft and inventive power, Southsightedness offers deep aesthetic pleasure but in an often-down-to-earth way. In part a survey of the past as well as a navigational guide for the future, it is a vivid poetic catalogue of a 21st century cultural landscape, where all things are interconnected, including sound and sense, beauty and humour, truth and joy. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. John Kinsella, Transit Lounge Publishing. *Shortlisted for the NSW Premier's Literary Awards 2022: Christina Stead Prize for Fiction* 'The tall trees nearby called them up and red-tailed black cockatoos carried messages to them that they told no one else about.' Pushing Back is John Kinsella's most haunting and timely… fiction to date. It is populated with eccentric, compelling characters, drifters, unlikely friendships, the silences of dissolving relationships, haunted dwellings and lonely highways, the ghosts of cleared bushland and the threats of right-wing nationalists and senseless destruction. A couple make love in an abandoned asbestos house, a desperate carpet cleaner beholden to the gig economy begs a financially distressed client not to cancel his booking, an addict cannot bear to see his partner without the watch he once gave her, a mother casts her shearer son's ashes on the property on which he worked, fascists pile into a little red car with the intent of terrorising tourists on the Nullarbor, a man more at home with machinery than people rescues a drowning kitten. Yet throughout this assured distillation of contemporary Australian life, empathy rises like the red- tailed black cockatoos that appear and reappear, nature coalescing with the human spirit, the animals, the trees, the land, the people pushing back. These stories are at once disturbing, tender and hopeful. 'One of the nation's most significant living writers.' - Tony Hughes-d'Aeth, Australian Book Review. Paperback.

Paperback. Gretchen Shirm, Transit Lounge Publishing. The Crying Room movingly explores family boundaries and stories, finding original ways to express the contradictory experience of belonging to a family, and being an individual at the same time. When Bernie Rodgers and her husband move to the coastal town of Ballina, she find…s that there is more than a physical distance separating her from her adult daughters. Bernie loves her daughters, but the problem she realises is with the way she loved them. Bernie's daughter Susie is professionally successful, but her feelings remain distant, even to herself. When she takes on the responsibility for caring for her niece, the pieces of her life finally snap into place. The inexplicable disappearance of an aeroplane though, plunges her life into mystery once again. Morally acute and dazzlingly accomplished, this is an affecting novel about loneliness, love, family and the need to feel. 'Deeply rewarding. Shirm dances with a light step across the delicate territory between laughing and weeping.' - Helen Garner 'Deft, original and clever; this novel unfolds a drama of family distance, kindness and the surprising endurance of love.' - Gail Jones. Paperback.

Paperback. John Burbidge, Transit Lounge Publishing. The six years John Burbidge spent in India as a community development worker changed him in many ways, but one stands out from all the rest. It led him to confront a deeply personal secret-his attraction to his own sex. After taking the plunge with masseurs on a Bombay beach,…he found himself on a rollercoaster ride of sexual adventuring. A complicating factor in his journey of self-discovery was the tightly knit community in which he lived and worked, with its highly regimented schedule and minimal privacy that forced him to live a double life. Written with passion, integrity and humour, The Boatman is packed with incident, anecdote, adventure and above all, real and memorable people. Burbidge takes hold of India as few have done before, deftly interweaving the search for selfhood with an intimate exploration of Indian life and society. His story shows us how, when we dare to immerse ourselves in a culture radically different from our own, we may discover parts of ourselves we never knew existed. Paperback.

Paperback. Inez Baranay, Transit Lounge Publishing. LONGLISTED for the 2020 Colin Roderick Award. Theywere two little girls on a very big boat. In the 1930s, Ada and Leyla meet aschildren on a boat bringing migrants from Old Europe to the New World. Theytalk of seeing kangaroos yet end up living miles apart from each other in su…burban Sydney. Their separations areoften lengthy but their friendship endures across continents and decades and isa thread in this haunting story of writing, relationships and ageing. Ada (A.L. Ligeti) becomes an author,searching for a Utopian world, exploring aspects of patriarchy and gender in her groundbreaking feminist science fiction novel called Turn Left at Venus. That novel and itssequels are celebrated and muchdiscussed by generations of fans. Memory and imagination fold seamlessly intoone another as Ada keeps moving on, from relationships and places, living inhotels and rental spaces in Kings Cross,San Francisco, Ubud and elsewhere. Baranay's emotionally resonant portrait of the solitary and artistic life, lived adventurously across space andtime, triumphantly celebrates the singularity of being, of age, of imagination, and of the'getting ready' for the ending that life demands. 'A gripping treaty at the crossroads of fictivebiography and speculative fiction about what it means to become old. Nothing is left untouched, unexplored:The life of the mind and the life of the body, inner space and outer space. Itis a complex, magnificently written novel that replicates the way in whichlived life and imagined life keep feeding each other.' - Arianna Dagnino, author of The Afrikaaner and Transcultural Writers and Novels in the Age of Global Mobility.

A description of our secondhand books is not always available. Please contact us if you have a question about this title. Author: Justine Ettler Format:…Paperback Number of Pages: 304 Catherine Bell, a famous concert pianist, is struggling to hold on to her career in a competitive international arena that spans the classical music capitals of the world. After a disastrous show in Copenhagen, Cathy is about to attempt her first concert performance without alcohol in Prague when her marriage implodes, her terminally ill, Czech-born mother goes missing from her London hospital, and a much needed highly paid recording deal falls through. Cathy finds herself coping in the only way she knows how: grasping a glass of forbidden pre-performance champagne and flirting with Tomas, a stranger in a Prague nightclub. While her therapist Nelly advises her to abstain, Cathy's relationship with drink, and Tomas, draws her deep into a whirlpool of events as mysterious, tense and seductive as Prague itself. Justine Ettler's discipline in the writing is as controlled as Cathy is out of control - the novel brilliantly references classics such as Wuthering Heights - and as with Rachel in The Girl on a Train the reader is drawn into the protagonist's predicament with moving, palpable intensity. Bohemia Beach is an edge of your seat ride, a compelling story of addiction, passionate love and the power of art. It heralds the return of one of Australia's most distinctive authors. 'Ettler is back after twenty years and the wait has been worth it. This is a mesmerising story of art and addiction - the author at her provocative best.' - Nikki Gemmell, author of After You can read an article from the Wentworth Courier on Bohemia Beach here. Paperback.

Paperback. David Cohen, Transit Lounge Publishing. From the winner of the Russell Prize for Humour Writing. David Cohen's most wryly humorous and disturbing work of fiction yet. A public memorial's name is changed to avoid any mention of the tragedy it has been set up to commemorate. Two attention-seeking activists campaign agai…nst exclusionary policies adopted by the gift shop at a suburban shopping mall. A customer service representative becomes obsessed with a colleague who has worked from home for so long, nobody in the company remembers her. A middle-aged father loses his marriage and falls in love again with a cherished but damaged childhood toy. An academic's research into roadside memorials takes a peculiar turn. David Cohen's sometimes bizarre yet pitch-perfect stories capture everyday horrors but are always shot through with a profound empathy and generosity. The Terrible Event delivers not just one terrible event, but many events of varying degrees of terrible-ness. Death, destruction, disappearance, decline, defeat it has something for everyone. 'Wildly inventive. Deeply unsettling. Delightfully strange. The Terrible Event is Cohen's best, most hilarious book yet. I absolutely loved it.' Bram Presser, The Book of Dirt 'These are not the stand-up comedian's one-liners; they have an awareness of the absurd, the surreal, the comic, in everyday life; the true comic's unsettling serious gaze at the strange ways we make sense of existence.'

Paperback. Lois Murphy, Transit Lounge Publishing. An almost deserted town in the middle of nowhere, Nebulah's days of mining and farming prosperity if they ever truly existed are long gone. These days even the name on the road sign into town has been removed. Yet for Pete, an ex-policeman, Milly, Li and a small band of others,…it's the only place they have ever felt at home. One winter solstice, a strange residual and mysterious mist arrives, that makes even birds disappear. It is a real and potent force, yet also strangely emblematic of the complacency and unease that afflicts so many of our small towns, and the country that Murphy knows so well. Partly inspired by the true story of Wittenoom, the ill-fated West Australia asbestos town, Soon is the story of the death of a haunted town, and the plight of the people who either won't, or simply can't, abandon all they have ever had. With finely wrought characters and brilliant plotting, it is a taut and original novel, where the people we come to know, and those who are drawn to the town's intrigue, must ultimately fight for survival. Soon is shortlisted for the 2018 Colin Roderick Memoral Award, see here. Paperback.

Hardback. Brennen Wysong, Transit Lounge Publishing. What does a woman in her seventies make of her life on the other side of blindness? Relic Light is a story told by Beatrice, whose reality is upended when she loses her ability to see. While her mathematician husband is away at work at Columbia or visiting the Metropolitan Mus…eum of Art, she wanders through their empty house north of New York City and allows her mind to drift into unexpected and painful places. There are solid guideposts for her along the way remembered paintings and novels to contemplate; memories of her husband, children, and parents; her close friendship with a neighbour but her fragmented thoughts often carry her in a dozen directions, offering an intimate and original portrait of a mind in motion. Blindness has isolated Beatrice, removed her from what she can verify with her own eyes, but it also may offer her a gateway into new possibilities a 're-visioning' of her world. 'I have never read a novel that makes legible what I have always felt: that the art we have consumed over the course of our lives novels, films, paintings, theater is as important as the rituals of living. Through his unforgettable protagonist, a refreshingly female flaneur, now out of the city and without her sight, Brennen Wysong shows us, in gorgeous and elegant prose, that art imprints upon our lives as significantly as history. It is our history. Relic Light is a beautiful and unforgettable debut.' Jennifer Gilmore, author of Golden Country and The Mothers 'When I turned the last page, the character of Bea a profoundly cultured woman who has lost her sight stayed with me. I walked with her. I breathed with her. And I still do. Her rich inner life of books and art, of memory and family is given to us. And it is precious. To carry off such an endeavour is a literary feat. Relic Light is full of heart a book that renders a whole human being, saving it from darkness, cannot be anything else.' Catherine de Saint Phalle, author of Poum and Alexandre and The Sea & Us 'Geographer Yi-Fu Tuan said that without a clear sense of space, we would not have a linear sense of time. Brennen Wysong's novel explores this idea, re-constellating the events of a life after their order has been shaken by blindness. It is a meditation on memory and forgetting, on what the darkness loses, but also what it gains. The result is a truly compelling have read nothing quite like it.' Patrick Holland, author of The Mary Smokes Boys and Oblivion. Hardback.

A description of our secondhand books is not always available. Please contact us if you have a question about this title. Author: Philip Salom Format: Pa…perback Number of Pages: 336 *Shortlisted for the Miles Franklin Literary Award 2020* Elizabeth posts a 'room for rent' notice in Trevor's bookshop and is caught off-guard when Trevor answers the ad himself. She expected a young student not a middle-aged bookseller whose marriage has fallen apart. But Trevor is attracted to Elizabeth's house because of the empty shed in her backyard, the perfect space for him to revive the artistic career he abandoned years earlier. The face-blind, EH Holden-driving Elizabeth is a solitary and feisty book editor, and she accepts him, on probation. Miles Franklin finalist Philip Salom has a gift for depicting the inner states of his characters with empathy and insight. In this poignant yet upbeat novel the past keeps returning in the most unexpected ways. Elizabeth is at the beck and call of her ageing mother, and the associated memories of her childhood in a Rajneesh community. Trevor's Polish father disappeared when Trevor was fifteen, and his mother died not knowing whether he was dead or alive. The authorities have declared him dead, but is he? The Returns is a story about the eccentricities, failings and small triumphs that humans are capable of, a novel that pokes fun at literary and artistic pretensions, while celebrating the expansiveness of art, kindness and friendship. 'Philip Salom.dissects the vulnerabilities of the human condition (loneliness, fear of intimacy, powerlessness, guilt), the power of the past to haunt us, the fear of the future to mire us, and the redemptive effects of love and acceptance.' - Miles Franklin Award Judges on Waiting 'A tour de force of sustained affection and wit.' - Australian Book Review on Waiting.
