Publisher Description
An extraordinary audiobook of non-fiction, spanning 25 years of work, by one of Australia's great writers.
Helen Garner visits the morgue, and goes cruising on a Russian ship. She sees women giving birth, and gets the sack for teaching her students about sex. She attends a school dance and a gun show. She writes about dreaming, about turning 50 and the storm caused by The First Stone. Her story on the murder of the two-year-old Daniel Valerio wins her a Walkley Award.
Garner looks at the world with a shrewd and sympathetic eye. Her non-fiction, with its many voices, is always passionate and compelling. True Stories is an extraordinary audiobook, spanning 25 years of work, by one of Australia’s great writers.
Customer Reviews
I so hope to see more non-fiction of Helen’s personal life
I listened to Helen herself read this book (on audio). I intensely enjoyed it, trying to squeeze in fragments of chapters here and there around my everyday. I desperately hope Helen continues to write non-fiction. Her stories about her own life are just fascinating.
