New Animal by Ella Baxter

Category: Australian Fiction

A stunning, heartbreakingly funny debut novel from a brilliant new literary voice. Sex, death, grief, running away...only one of these makes Amelia feel like a new animal. It's not easy getting close to people. Amelia's meeting a lot of men but once she gets the sex she wants from them, that's it for h er; she can't connect further. A terrible thing happened to Daniel last year and it's stuck inside Amelia ever since, making her stuck too. Maybe being a cosmetician at her family's mortuary business isn't the best job for a young woman. It's not helping her social life. She loves her job, but she's not great at much else. Especially emotion. And then something happens to her mum and suddenly Amelia's got too many feelings and the only thing that makes any sense to her is running away. It takes the intervention of her two fathers and some hilariously wrong encounters with other broken people in a struggling Tasmanian BDSM club to help her accept the truth she has been hiding from. And in a final, cataclysmic scene, we learn along with Amelia that you need to feel another person's weight before you can feel your own. Deadpan, wise and heartbreakingly funny, New Animal is a stunning debut.   ...Show more

A Room Called Earth by Madeleine Ryan

$29.99 AUD

Available Stock:
1

Category: Australian Fiction

A brilliant debut from a neurodivergent author that shows the magical, sensitive world of a woman on the autism spectrum. A young woman gets ready to go to a party. She arrives, feels overwhelmed, leaves, and then returns. Minutely attuned to the people who come into her view, and alternating between al ienation and profound connection, she is hilarious, self-aware, sometimes acerbic, and painfully honest. And by the end of the night, she's shown us something radical about love, loss, and the need to belong. 'A daring, prismatic novel about seeing and being seen, and the hunger for universal connection. Madeleine Ryan's clarity of vision imbues the ordinary - a party, strangers, inner-city streets - with cosmic significance. I came out of A Room Called Earth with fresh eyes and a full heart.' -Laura Elizabeth Woollett, author of Beautiful Revolutionary 'In this precious gemstone of a novel, Ryan communicates a lush, raw, addictive truth with her prosaic yet theatrical prose, her protagonist witnessing the world in a way that had me pausing for long deep breaths after most chapters. The world of this book is the world of a woman who knows herself because she has needed to, and a woman who many might recognise, despite her oneness. Reading Ryan is to be taught and to be refreshed, and I will return to her pages in the future, to remind me of the beauty there is in my own room called earth.' -Laura McPhee-Browne, author of Cherry Beach ' M uch of the novel's appeal comes from its illustration and examination of the narrator's blunt perspective on life and specifically social interaction ... Ryan's ability to convey her narrator's unique perspective makes it a worthwhile read.' -Kirkus Reviews ...Show more

Losing a father isn't easy. Neither is the split existence you live afterwa rds when you can still conjure up the past where he was alive and yet have to live in the present where he is not. Grief is universal and eternal, yet how we deal with it--or how it deals with us--depends on who is grieving, when, and with whom. On the outside, the protagonist of this stylish debut novel seems to have it all together, but the grief she is still feeling after the loss of her father her to live a divided existance and constructs a barrier between between the day-to-day reality of what she's experiencing with people her age, this life that she's leading, and a feeling of estrangement, grief, and need? The world these characters inhabit--rent is nuts, nobody is getting younger, and everyone remains unsatisfied, always wanting something more--the emotions they struggle to understand (and even feel), their ambivalence and confusion about the future, work, the political issues of the day, relationships, and each other all weave together to create the background for a poignant story about loss. Friends & Dark Shapes is funny but substantial, tight and well-written. From the tautness of each individual vignette to the full power of the whole, Friends & Dark Shapes brings forth a bold, new voice that needs to be heard. ...Show more
