Ernest Price is a transgender man working as a secondary English teacher in Naarm/Melbourne. His writing has been published by Queerstories and Overland.
'This shockingly funny novel features some of the sharpest and most pitch-dark humour I've read in years. I couldn't look away as this family of narcissists explodes like a flaming asteroid with a social media following. The Pyramid of Needs will have you turning pages faster than you usually doomscroll the internet. What a debut!' - Emily Bitto 'Price's spectacular debut novel The Pyramid of Needs is a page turner start to finish. This book sits in a growing cannon of trans writing that exists outside of the 'coming-of-age' narrative and reflects more three-dimensionality and nuance. Price is a brilliant writer who introduces compelling and varied characters, all of whom I felt I knew personally. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.' - Nevo Zisin 'The Pyramid of Needs is a contemporary, insightful tragedy that makes you laugh-out-loud. It's hard edged and soft-hearted. Is Queensland Noir a thing? It should be, and Ernest Price is its king. A stunning debut.' - Sophie Cunningham
