In these blackly humorous and twisting tales, Anson Cameron takes you to the darker fringes of the nations heartland, where babies are traded illegally out of Ford Falcons, red cordial makes men weep, and the great Australian dream has all but dried up.
Love them, like them, or hate them, Anson Cameron's heroes are ordinary people, all trying to make a quid and beat the system. This is life as immortalised by Tim Winton and Andrew McGahan - where getting by is an art from and getting ahead is for other people. In 'Nice Shootin', Cowboy', this ragged realism meets sparse and graceful prose in a rare fusion.
A finely crafted collection of award-winning stories.
