It would be called \u003ci\u003eThe Paris End\u003c\/i\u003e, after the aspirationally cosmopolitan (yet persistently grotty) hilltop at the eastern end of Melbourne's city centre. It would seek to make much of a striving metropolis. It would publish hyperlocal, irreverent, long-form literary journalism—a dirty martini and a good gossip in email form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEXCLUSIVE\u003c\/i\u003e brings together a selection of eighteen lively essays from the first years of \u003ci\u003eThe Paris End\u003c\/i\u003e. Hurst, Olds, and Schwartz take you into corset-making studios, art fairs, micro-dairies, apartment developments, university pubs, biohacking spas, court rooms, and the musty offices of the city's Lacanian psychoanalysts. They ask urgent questions, such as: Can the male lesbian speak? Would you want to live forever if you had to live in Docklands? How does one emulate Frank Moorhouse's financial ability to stay fed with caviar, and watered with champagne?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this anthology, three distinct voices collaborate to mythologise a time and place, making Melbourne feel as worthy of attention as London, New York or Berlin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47340783239404,"sku":"9781923106499","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/f20b4b846e6b8cb664f329bf044b100d.jpg?v=1772191306"},{"product_id":"the-honeymoon-stage-by-oscar-schwartz-9781925336399","title":"The Honeymoon Stage","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDebut collection by a young poet whose simple, funny and deceptively naive poems engage with the virtual realities of the internet. \u003cem\u003eThe Honeymoon Stage\u003c\/em\u003e is a collection of poems written for friends on the internet over a five-year period. These friends were spread across the globe, and most of them the poet had never met, and will never know.
