Mistakes Were Made by Pieper, Liam

ISBN: 9780143573128 PUBLISHER: Penguin Books Australia FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 80 PUBLICATION DATE: 16.03.2015 DIMENSIONS: 18 x 11.2 x 0.6 centimetres 2.4 ounces

DESCRIPTION: Liam Pieper's made some poor life choices, but he's (usually) meant well. He's tried to write important stories, fight racial prejudice and rescue traumatised puppies. And he's ended up with life-threatening infestations, a punch in the face at a Leonard Cohen concert and brief detention by counter-terrorism experts. Taking us from Nimbin to US border security to the star-studded Chateau Marmont in LA, these four essays are compelling, insightful and very funny. Mistakes Were Made is about the gap between our ideals in life - of love, compassion, ambition - and how things actually play out. 'His writing is electric: charged with meaning and energised by surprising comedic turns.' Weekend Australian 'Charming and amusing.' Sunday Age 'The ability to laugh at yourself is arguably the most valuable quality you can cultivate as a writer, and Liam Pieper has it in spades ...he does hilarious self-deprecation with considerable panache.' Sydney Morning Herald
