Thirty Pieces

A man honeymoons before leaving to fight in the First World War, a literature class for prisoners, unexpected meetings with long-lost loves - short stories and poems by Garry Kinnane that take in early and mid 20th century Australia, and on into the trials of ageing in the 21st. Ten stories, twenty poems - thirty pieces in all. Garry Kinnane is the author of George Johnston: A Biography (winner of The Age Book-of-the-Year 1986) Colin Colahan: A Portrait, and the memoir trilogy, Shadowed Days.
