The desire to share our stories is universal. The stories we tell, in turn, reveal a lot about us. The endless possibilities of our lives make us unique but also connect us. Join forty of Australia's best storytellers in A Revealed Life, an intimate anthology of the moments and events that have shaped their lives between the bookends of birth and death. From Georgia Blain's candid encounter with pregnancy in 'The Story My Mother Tells Me'; to Sally Breen's cheeky tale of teenage empowerment in 'Mac Attack'; to David Malouf's wistful journeys in memory in 'The Exotic at Home'; and Marion Halligan's poignant reflections on religion and ritual at a time of loss, in 'Small Candle Flames'. A Revealed Life showcases the very best contemporary memoir pieces as published in the literary and public affairs quarterly, Griffith REVIEW. Other contributors include Anna Maria Dell'oso, Donna McDonald, Andrew Belk, Jay Verney, Michael McKernan, Nick Earls, David Sornig, Oren Seidler, Meera Atkinson, Tara June Winch, Gideon Haigh, Helen Elliott, Isabelle Reinecke, Eve Vincent, Creed O'Hanlon, Matthew Condon, Phil Brown, Murray Sayle, Lucy Lehmann, Christine Zorzi, Susan Varga, Eva Sallis, Lee Kofman, Randa Abdel-Fattah, Melissa Lucashenko, Vincent Plush, Robyn Davidson, Andrew McMullan, Sylvia Lawson, Robyn Williams, Michael Wilding, Robert Hillman, Bille Brown, Joanna Mendelssohn, Peter Meredith, Donald Horne.
