Melbourne-based writer Paddy O’Reilly has both a great sense of humour and the tantalising ability to record the absurd. Enlivened by a wry sense of humor, this collection uses narrative voices that express subtlety and experience in stories that place the characters in a variety of settings—from Japan and Australia to fantastical places where incredible things are possible—and experiments with different perceptions of reality, creating unique situations that span a broad range of experiences.
