October Book of the Month:

Permafrost

by SJ Norman

– Tahlia

One of the most inspiring writers I had read in a long time. Odd and acute, this intriguing collection of short stories consume a sense of Place that has left me feeling... unusually lonely, cold and yet somehow uplifted. It is the strangest of sensations to feel after reading a book. Fulfilled yet at the same time hollow. How can a book make you feel extreme opposites at once? An experience only an extremely skilled writer can achieve!

Each story is lead by a character who’s gender is unknown. How much I adored this! The connection to Place… is headstrong, taking you from Australia, Poland, London, Berlin. No matter which city, I was there. I was experiencing. I was 100% in. A collection of enigmatic shorties which are lyric, dynamic and the finest Australian writing I’ve read in a while. I loved this one so very much. I’m still thinking about it weeks later!
