Behind the Front Fence: 30 Modern Australian Short Stories by Barry Oakley
30 Compelling Stories by David Malouf - Lily Brett - Peter Goldsworthy - Elizabeth Jolley - Tim Winton - Cate Kennedy and many more of Australia's finest modern writers.
These brilliant and absorbing stories are set in the suburbs of contemporary Australia - but their themes are universal.
While the overall theme of the narratives is domestic, there is little of domesticity about them. Barry Oakley has chosen each story not only for its entertainment value but also for its capacity to conjure up the uncertainty, tragedy and humour of everyday life.
The resulting anthology contains some of the finest work by many of Australia's most gifted contemporary writers - together with stories by some refreshing new ones.
Each section explores a theme and each story has a brief explanatory introduction.
