Minds Went Walking

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

With contributions by: Robbie Arnott, Alice Bishop, Zoe Bradley, Jake Cashion, Sam Carmody, Lorin Clarke, Claire G. Coleman, Sarah Drummond, Laura Elvery, Kirsten Krauth, Julia Lawrinson, Matt Neal, Bram Presser, Mirandi Riwoe, Tim Rogers, Angela Savage, Jock Serong, Mark Smith, Neil A. White, Gina Williams and Michelle Wright.

Jock Serong, Mark Smith and Neil A. White posed the question: what would happen if a group of Australia's finest storytellers were invited to let their minds go walking through the Paul Kelly songbook? Twenty-one writers responded with tales of forbidden love, with the ghosts that inhabit St Kilda and the 'special treatment' of the Noongar people; with the dumb things they did when they crossed the Nullarbor, and how a simple song could bind a father and daughter forever.

Minds Went Walking invites you into a world shaped by evocative storytelling and rich with the cultural tapestry of Australia, as seen through the lenses of its talented contributors.
