True Stories: Complete Short Non-Fiction

Second-Hand (Hardcover)

Excellent condition

An extraordinary book of collected short non-fiction, spanning fifty years of work, by one of Australia's great writers.

Helen Garner visits the morgue and goes cruising on a Russian ship. She sees women giving birth, and gets the sack for teaching her students about sex. She attends a school dance and a gun show.

She writes about dreaming, about turning fifty, and the storm caused by The First Stone. Her story on the murder of the two-year-old Daniel Valerio wins her a Walkley Award.

Garner looks at the world with a shrewd and sympathetic eye. Her non-fiction is always passionate and compelling.
