From Australia's master storyteller comes this retrospective of his best short stories from the past two decades.

Pictures of You - Collected Stories brings together the best of acclaimed writer Tony Birch's short fiction from the past two decades. Cherrypicking from across his oeuvre, this anthology showcases his skills at finding the extraordinary in ordinary lives, and the unexpected connections and kindnesses between strangers.

His work is by turns poignant, sad, profound and funny - and always powerful. Throughout this stellar collection, Birch's preoccupation with the humanity of those who are often marginalised or overlooked, and the search for justice for people and the natural environment shines bright.
