Her relationships play out against a backdrop of contrasts: the brilliant light of the Bay, shadowed by menace stalking the streets, and lonely long distance roads. This new edition has the addition of the poem 'Slugs' by the author, first published in 1980 in LiNQ (Literature in North Queensland). Includes one black and white illustration, a photographic artwork."A sensitive and convincing account of Australian youth culture"-Kirkus Reviews

263,95 - 460,95 kr. 'Know thyself' is a Greek aphorism. But how can she? Something is missing. She can't think what it is. A mysterious amnesiac art dealer, Ruby, is jailed in Australia for the traumatic murder she cannot recall. In her high society life in London, acting the part and role-playing replaced authenticity; she kept up appearances. Then she and her husband Sir Hugo visit Australia, to collect art, and nothing goes to plan. She collides with what she has been running from. Narrated through voices of the main characters, the distinctive, uproarious fragments reveal stories of a performance artist, a musician, and a writer in Australia; a triangular relationship; shattered family life; and the mysteries of amnesia; the gulf between how one appears to oneself and to others. What can't Ruby remember? Has she been wrongfully convicted? Interwoven through the fiction narrative is a series of photographic images by Ruth Skilbeck."Skilbeck's prose is as measured as poetry, and the way the narration shifts between different characters provides an almost cubist view of people and events...Skilbeck creates some memorable characters." -Kirkus Reviews

543,95 kr. Featuring the works of over thirty authors, artists, arts and cultural historians, from around the world and across urban and regional Australia, the inaugural issue of Arts Features International literary journal, addresses themes of artistic, social, cultural and technological change, in a time of major historical evolutionary transition. From the displacement and shock of transitioning from the ‘private’ timeless zone of writing to the public zone of ‘virtual reality’ and publishing via computer, to social media and digital arts production arises the need to gather together to defend our humanity, and environment, and speak in a polyphony individually together.With works by: Richard James Allen, Christopher Barnett, Behrouz Boochani, Christen Clifford, Paloma Concierta, Fan Dongwang, Elizabeth Farrelly, Elizabeth Gertsakis, Jeremy Gluck, Michael Gormly, Ghassan Hage, Ying Huang, Karen Kennedy, Ramon Loyola, Philip Mann, Rhyll McMaster, Luciano Prisco, John Queripel, Ruth Skilbeck, Maxim Skilbeck-Porter, Ella Skilbeck-Porter, Suellen Symons, Lâle Teoman, Anne Tsoulis, Georgia Wallace-Crabbe, The Carbon Manual, Natasha Williams, Kenneth Wolman, Leisa Woodman, William Yang, Wang Zhyuan. And interviews by Ruth Skilbeck with: Mary Kelly and Kelly Barrie; Anne Tsoulis and Christopher Barnett.ISSN: 2209 - 8933 (print)www.borderstreambooks.com.au
