by Peter Goldsworthy

‘A subtle hook draws the reader in at the beginning … Once the lure is taken, you’re drawn effortlessly to the end.’ Barry Oakley, Weekend Australian

Ranging from the early comic sketches to the disturbing brilliance of his recent stories, this outstanding collection reinforces Peter Goldsworthy’s reputation as a modern master of short fiction. Simultaneously light and dark, unsettling and amusing, his stories leave indelible traces in the memory. A writer’s writer, he is also never less than compellingly readable.
