Portable Curiosities Author: Julie Koh

ISBN: 9780702254048 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 240 Published: 30 May 2016 Country of Publication: AU Dimensions (cm): 19.8 x 13.6 x 1.7 Description: A young girl sees ghosts from her third eye, located where her belly button should be. A one-dimensional yellow man steps out of a cinema screen, hoping to lead a three-dimensional life. A journalist goes on assignment to report the latest food trend, which turns ice-cream eating into an extreme sport.

In Portable Curiosities, Julie Koh re-imagines our world with a dark, satirical twist. These twelve stories combine absurd humour with searing critiques on contemporary society - the rampant consumerism, the casual misogyny, the insidious fear of those who are different. Brilliantly clever and brimming with heart, this unforgettable collection is the work of a significant new talent.
