Hunger & Other Stories

A collection of new and original stories from some of Australia's best writers, edited by two people with extensive teaching experience who wanted the stories to be as good to read as they were to teach.

These stories of love and desire, cloning, ostracism, memory, identity, conflict, life after death, the second law of thermodynamics, and the pursuit of happiness are set in the city, the outback, on the footy field, at home, school and university. The classic short story sits alongside the rap, as well as the narrative poem. The language is colloquial, humourous, allusive, realistic, poetic, and above all, alive!

There's something here for everyone.

The writers are: Ian Bone, Catherine Bateson, Paul Daffey, Archimede Fusillo, Michael Hyde, Cate Kennedy, Brian Matthews, Jaclyn Moriarty, Jenny Pausacker, Lauren Williams, Alexis Wright and Beth Yahp .
