Produktbeschreibung

Revolutionary Baby is a collection of original stories exploring the fears and struggles of ordinary people touched in different ways by the revolutions that made our century. Here are tales of self-discovery and the search for freedom haunted by the presence of uneasy loves.

• Andrea, a pregnant feminist, defies her husband and gives birth at a chaotic anti-Vietnam War rally while he is drinking with a new mate at the seaside. He thought he might leave her but now his fate is sealed.
• A bachelor farmer rejects a possible bride when he discovers her alarming secret.
• A short man seeks to grow taller but encounters a life-altering situation that no one, least of all him, could have expected.
• On a rural commune an exile from the Party ponders his political legacy but never dreams that his children will take his life's work to the tip.
• Thousands throng the streets of Bangkok, hoping for a revolution but settling for 30% democracy.
• Louisa, a wealthy Sydney widow, longs for a new man and decides she needs cosmetic surgery in Thailand. A random act of violence leads to a surprising new way of life.

These unnerving stories describe personal and political change, disappointment, ingenuity, and hope, as the twentieth century fades into memory and post-modern turmoil takes the stage. Revolutionary Baby: Strange Tales from the Twentieth Century will surprise, entertain and sometimes shock.
