Mostly Friday Nights (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

What happened on Friday nights in the Sydney suburbs in the seventies? Read these stories about Campbell and his mates from Campbelltown, told in the style of The Adventures of Don Juan though with not so many heroes. Too many characters in these stories are preoccupied with getting out of it. If you weren't out of it, you just weren't there. That was the whole idea! Here is a set of stories that examines the powerful asking made by your average teenager in the suburbs back then, told lovingly from the perspective on one who lived to see the expansion of life in these places as an answer to so much of all that asking. WARNING: These stories contain references to the use of illegal substances, underage drinking, burglary, suicide, prostitution, illicit sex, gang rape, mental illness, domestic violence, bingeing on big macs, and sex in the back of a butcher's shop. Read at your own risk.

Autorenporträt

I've been writing pretty much full time for ten years- after I completed a Master of Creative Arts (Prose) at the University of Wollongong. Previously I worked as metallurgist, health food retailer, government bureaucrat, diplomat and entrepreneur.

While my work overseas for the Australian government took me on postings to many places including Europe, Asia and Africa, I like to write about the contemporary Australian experience. I began writing fiction in the nineties, had some short stories published, then put my writing on hold to give full attention to my career.

I'm a taiji enthusiast, avid jade collector, and a keen follower of William Gass and his theory of sentences, that each sentence has a soul, and that all good literature comes from the well-constructed sentence.

I live in near the Royal National Park, south of Sydney.
