Yet throughout this assured distillation of contemporary Australian life, empathy rises like the red- tailed black cockatoos that appear and reappear, nature coalescing with the human spirit, the animals, the trees, the land, the people pushing back. These stories are at once disturbing, tender and hopeful. 505 0 $a Having kittens -- Night train -- Patras to Athens -- The watch -- Little red car -- Green light -- Quid pro quo -- No more tangles -- Goozi -- Barrows -- Backstroke -- The purchase -- Touch -- Echolocation -- Lightening memory -- Surrounded -- A taste of blood -- Stretching -- A viewing -- The eagle over the funeral in the shearing shed -- On the rocks -- The kayaker on the lough (and a proverb) -- Magic child -- Globe -- Ging-- Pushing back -- Roaming the campsite -- Home invasion -- Portrait under duress -- Carpet-cleaner -- Electioneering -- I'm a little tea-pot -- The cupboard -- Manning the barricades -- Monkey bars -- Here be lions. 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 650 0 $a Short stories, Australian. 650 0 $a Short stories $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Australian fiction $y 21st century. 650 1 $a Short stories. 650 7 $a Australian fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00821424 650 7 $a Short stories. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01117043 650 7 $a Short stories, Australian. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01117095 651 0 $a Australia $v Fiction. 651 7 $a Australia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204543 655 7 $a short stories. $2 aat $0 (CStmoGRI)aatgf300202607 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726740 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Nouvelles. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000322 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117031009.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4343901A4EAA11EDAB62559A42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
