Stories of Perth
Stories of Perth | Brio Books
3 posts | 1 read
In 2013 Seizure teamed up with Sweatshop to produce an anthology of Sydney writers that showcased a different side of the city. This time, we've headed out west to draw on the best new talent we can find to tell the stories of Perth we wouldn't expect. From the crisis of meth addiction, the pressure of keeping up appearances and the unexpected presence of peacocks, this is a rich and wide-ranging anthology. Funny, challenging and wide-ranging, these stories and essays come from a diverse selection of emerging and established writers.

Finished. This anthology of stories set in my hometown Perth is a quick read. It's worth the price of admission for the first Lynch story alone. The Noongar narrator sees modern Perth as a ghost-like overlay, sinking ever deeper into the Deep Time of the Derbal Yerrigan and surrounds.

A lot of the rest was a bit bleak for me, featuring disengagement, isolation, and meth.

I've started reading Stories of Perth, an anthology of this place where my roots are. But other people's roots go much deeper.

I think I need an intervention 😳😂.
#bookhaul #bookaholic

Today I introduced a friend to Rabble, a new Indi bookstore in Perth, with no intention of purchasing a single book.

In my defense the tagged book is a birthday gift for a friend and the Astrophysics book is for my son.

But the other two....ALL MINE 🤗📚😁.

Louise If you are looking for an intervention, you‘ve come to the wrong place. 😂 Nice haul! 5y
