Gas Deities 'Ed Wright cracks his eggs and lets the yolks run wild.' - Jennifer Sloop, author of Chuffa Garde

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

Gas Deities is the result of a quest for meaning that negates the big ticket items of ego, intellectual fashion, and salvation, leaving behind the generative joys of doubt. Using dramatic monologues and the slipperiness of the lyrical "I", Wright takes us on a journey through suburban Australia, with the odd overseas excursion, finding magic in the ordinary, and understanding the creativity of erring, while simultaneously mining the foibles of pretension.

β€˜Ed Wright cracks his eggs and lets the yolks run wild.’ - Jennifer Sloop, author of Chuffa Garde
