ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ---- This collection of essays is for those interested in the arts sub-culture of Sydney, those interested in the less-mainstream - or absolutely non-mainstream! What makes these critiques and writings so engaging is the personal element that Fiona McGregor, performance artist and novelist, brings to them.
Over the course of the book, in addition to reading about a number of artists and performers, we learn a lot about the personal history of McGregor and the importance of this alternative scene in helping her discover and embrace her artistic and queer self. There's even a chapter on cats. It's frank, heartfelt writing that draws the reader in, some of whom may have frequented the same clubs and locations mentioned in this slice of Sydney's history.
