The #Stellas are happening! I'm following along on twitter. My money is on Maxine Beneba Clarke.
The Story Bridge is a well known Brisbane suicide spot. After his exams, and only weeks prior to his 21st birthday, Elspeth Muir's brother left his shirt, shoes wallet and phone in a pile and jumped. His blood alcohol level was 5 times the legal driving limit. In this moving combination of memoir and journalism, Muir explores the Australian drinking culture. #underthebridge #lyricalapril #stellas
This memoir is beautifully written. I'm so glad I got to meet Poum and Alexandre and dip into their rich, literary and eccentric world. #stellas
Another shortlisted book from the #stellas Have been meaning to read this for 6 moths so glad I'm picking it up at last
It's difficult to know how to review this one.It is a short memoir written at the end of Cory Taylor's life as she is dying from Melanoma. It's a reflection on her life but most particularly her parents. I think I was hoping for more on her immediate family, husband and sons or a reflection on her work but much is on her parents. Her observations on her imminent death are profound and it makes me cherish and appreciate moments of life. #stellas
