Ex-musician Tom drives an impractical bus that no one ever boards. Publican Jenny runs a hotel that has no patrons. Rick wanders the aisles of the Woolworths every day in an attempt to blunt the disappointment of adulthood. In a town of innumerable petrol stations, labyrinthine cul-de-sac streets, two competing shopping plazas, and ubiquitous drive-thru franchises, where are these people likely to find the truth about their collective past - and can they do so before the town completely disappears? Shaun Prescott's debut novel The Town follows an unnamed narrator's efforts to complete a book about disappeared towns in the Central West of New South Wales. Set in a yet-to-disappear town in the region-a town believed by its inhabitants to have no history at all-the novel traces its characters' attempts to carve their own identities in a place that is both unyielding and teetering on the edge of oblivion. 650 0 $a Shrinking cities $z New South Wales $z New South Wales $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Shrinking cities $x Social aspects $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Interpersonal relations $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Cooney, Sam, $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190402022115.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=918792120F2511E9BB56EF4997128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
