Melbourne Subjective - An Anthology of Contemporary Melbourne Writing - Patricia Poppenbeek

A critique, homage, future vision and intimate portrait of mundane, marvellous Melbourne. A city of silence and shadows. Performance artist Leigh Bowery bursts out of Sunshine. Past and present pains arrive in trams. Ghost signs. Football. A young woman opens an all-girl garage in the 20s. A policeman's suitcase. Bats. A walking clock. A hundred years of screams. A convivial House of Bricks. Poetry. Stories past, true and new.
