The Last Wilkie's and Other Stories Author: Jon Steiner

ISBN: 9781925052169 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 130 Published: 1 November 2015 Country of Publication: AU Dimensions (cm): 20.32 x 13.34 x 1.02 Description:

Temper trantrums, doomed relationships, failed businesses, Magellan's crew and house-hunting... This is, at first glance, a quite disparate collection of stories. The settings range from New York, Texas and San Francisco to Sydney, Lismore and Malaysia. The characters vary in age from three years old in 'Rights of Man' to nonagenarians in 'Shady Oaks.' And yet this varied assemblage of work is unified by core themes that speak to us all: the search for one's place in the world, failed attempts to connect with other people and lofty aspirations not acted upon.
