Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Novelist Fiona McGregor'snew book, Buried Not Dead, is a collection of essays on art, literature and performance, sexuality, activism and the life of the city. It features performance artists, writers, dancers, tattooists and DJs, some of them famous, like Marina Abramovi and Mike Parr, while others, like Latai Taumoepeau, Lanny K and Kathleen Mary Fallon, are important figures but less well known. In her portraits of these performers and artists and the scenes they inhabit, McGregor creates an intimate and expansive archive of a kind rarely recorded in our histories.Fiona McGregor has a deep and enduring involvement in the worlds she represents. She came of age as an artist during an outpouring of performative queer creativity, in a community that celebrated subversion, dissent and uninhibited partygoing, and in her writing she observes the shift from that moment to new forms of cultural repression. McGregor is a participant in her essays as well as a witness - she sees through an artist's eyes and records what she perceives with a novelist's insight. In excavating the lives of others, she reveals her own, and shows the possibilities that exist beneath the surface of our culture.'Compromise-averse, dangerous, this book is also a precious archive of radical art-making witnessed firsthand.' - Maria Tumarkin'MacGregor has a fine eye for the moment, in a text or performance, when the marvellous happens. Cutting across the boring divides between high art and low dives, Buried Not Dead is alive to what's alive.' - McKenzie Wark'In a world that bludgeons you into numbness Buried Not Dead will startle you back to life. McGregor's book is a shriek of rage and a cry of pleasure, and sometimes it is hard to tell one from the other.' - Krissy Kneen'A lively and unpretentious book, Buried Not Dead is reminiscent of the work of Kathy Acker and Eileen Myles - a collection that does not indulge in misplaced nostalgia, instead recontextualising the past in hopes of a shared future.'

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Marie King is fifty-nine, recently divorced, and has lived a rather conventional life on Sydney's affluent north shore. Now her three children have moved out, the family home is to be sold, and with it will go her beloved garden.Marie King is fifty-nine, recently divorced, and has lived a rather conventional life on Sydney's affluent north shore. Now her three children have moved out, the family home is to be sold, and with it will go her beloved garden.On a drunken whim, Marie gets a tattoo - an act that gives way to an unexpected friendship with her tattoo artist, Rhys. Before long, Rhys has introduced Marie to a side of the city that clashes with her staid north-shore milieu. Her children are mortified by their mother's transformation, but have their own challenges to deal with- workplace politics; love affairs old and new; and, of course, the real-estate market.Written with Fiona McGregor's incisive wit and keen eye, Indelible Ink uses one family as a microcosm for the changes operating in society at large. In its piercing examination of the way we live now, it is truly a novel for our times.'The richest and most complete evocation of Sydney since Patrick White's The Vivisector.' The Monthly'Fiona McGregor, through her unusual and compelling use of language, transforms this family's story into something epic.'

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A Novel Idea is a memoir in photoessay form that follows Fiona McGregor's life as shewrites her award-winning novel Indelible Ink. It is a tongue-in-cheekrumination on the monotony and loneliness of the novelist's daily life, and theact of endurance the writer must perform.Through an extendedsequence of photographs taken on a hand-me-down camera, accompanied by terse,evocative captions, the book spans several years of labour andprocrastination, elation and despair. The details of the outside worldintrude as McGregor works on the novel alone in her Bondi flat, with nothingbut a desk, a pin-board, a laptop and a cat, and in studio spaces in Berlin and Estonia.McGregor's voice iswry, vulnerable, at times caustic, capturing the colloquial qualities of herfiction and the durational nature of her performance art via the ephemeral andessential thoughts that take up an author's days, weeks, and years.'A Novel Idea is a curiosity and a delight. Composed over years, Fiona McGregor's intimate photo-essay charts writing a novel: that collision of exhilaration, tedium, despair and sheer slog. It will captivate writers and readers alike.' - Michelle de Kretser'Fiona McGregor casts out any pretence to literary mystique in a deadpan, ruthlessly honest, witty and at times surprisingly moving first person photographic narrative that draws us in, disarms us, leaves us vulnerable to the sudden poignancy of certain observations and revelations.' - Blair French A Novel Idea is a memoir in photoessay form that follows Fiona McGregor's life as shewrites her award-winning novel Indelible Ink . It is a tongue-in-cheekrumination on the monotony and loneliness of the novelist's daily life, and theact of endurance the writer must perform.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Sergeant Lillian Armfield leans forward.What about Black Ada's, Webber? I know you two went there. What sort of people go there?Iris smiles.The sort of people you coppers like to bash.In late 1932, Iris Webber arrives in Sydney looking for work but the city is still in the grip of the Depression and there are few jobs for women at the best of times. She makes her way as best she can: a scam here, a shoplift there, busking with an accordion. And she knows how to use a gun.When Iris meets young sex worker Maisie Matthews, everything changes. But what options are there in a world where even on the margins, queer desire is harshly punished? The only way forward is paved with violence.Whip smart, resolute, a woman far ahead of her time, Iris navigates these mean streets with a growing awareness not just of herself, but also of the system enclosing her: narrow, corrupt, brutally prejudiced. Yet there is still joy to be had, sometimes even transcendence.From acclaimed best-selling author of Indelible Ink comes another great novel of the city. Peeling back the layers of history, McGregor weaves a teeming social portrait of schemers, gamblers, goodtime girls, gangsters and sly-groggers. Based on actual events, narrated in gritty lyrical prose, Iris is a dazzling literary achievement from one of Australia's most exciting writers. Iris's voice will hypnotise you.SHORTLISTED FOR THE MILES FRANKLIN LITERARY AWARD 2023SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2023 NSW PREMIER'S LITERARY AWARDS CHRISTINA STEAD PRIZE FOR FICTIONSHORTLISTED FOR THE ALS GOLD MEDAL 2023SHORTLISTED FOR THE ARA HISTORICAL NOVEL PRIZE ADULT CATEGORY 2023LONGLISTED FOR THE STELLA PRIZE 2023LONGLISTED FOR THE ABDA BOOK DESIGN AWARDS 2023 BEST DESIGNED LITERARY FICTION COVERLONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKPEOPLE ADULT FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023PRAISE FOR IRIS'The story of Iris had to be told, and Fiona Kelly McGregor has produced the roughest but most invaluable diamond.'
