About This Item
Melbourne: Text Publishing, 2021. 1st ed.. Paperback octavo, very good condition, slight ridge spine (binding error), corner tips covers & few pages little creased, minor edgewear. 351 pp. Sarah Krasnostein relates stories we tell ourselves to deal with the distance between the world as it is, and the world as we would like it to be. She puts together six stories about ordinary people from very different backgrounds. Some of the people believe in things most people don't. Ghosts. UFOs. Heaven and the Devil. Others believe in things most people would like to. Dying with autonomy. Facing one's own transgressions with an open heart. In this very personal new book, the author talks with her characteristic compassion and empathy to the believers. The author is an Australian-born lawyer who previously wrote 'The Trauma Cleanerâ, an award-winning biography of tragic gender reassignment, death, decay and disaster.
