Unknown Author

4.9/5 (24198 ratings)

Description:In the second Sleepers Almanac from Melbourne-based Zoe Dattner and Louise Swinn, the theme is lightly held to and comes out more in the cartoons and humorous interludes than in the stories; then again, you could say that just about any writing is about the nervous system, without which we wouldn't be fit subjects for fiction outside of the nouveau roman fixation on inanimate objects.The fiction divides more or less into fantasy and couples-arguing-in-the-kitchen realism and of the former the 21-year-old Mihai Sora's two stories, Everything's Fine and Travis Jetpack in the Black Age, show promise; he has an ear for fantastic sounds and his humour avoids rote whimsy. The realism is noteworthy more for its humanism and empathy than for its formal appeal so that even the more inconsequential slices of life, such as Gus Treyvaud's The Hero Starts Here have a warmth to them. The Sleepers house mood of generosity and enthusiasm obviously influences editorial choices in more ways than one.There are a handful of pieces from well-known writers, including Gideon Haigh's essay on John Cade, who discovered the efficacy of lithium in treating manic depression. The best of the cartoons are by Paul Davis and the best poem by Woof Woofsson: "The boy stood on the nervous wreck/ With a box of Cerapax/ He threw them down the open hatch/ And said 'Let's all relax'."Review - The Age, by Owen Richardson Apr, 2006We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
