‘The Station’ In Meanjin 82.4 Summer 2023

Hey folks! I hope you’re all doing really well. I’ve published two pieces of short fiction this year (amid raising a baby and working; I’m quite proud of this achievement!).

‘The Station’ is about a pregnant scientist who arrives in a dusty desert town to take up her position at the mysterious ‘Station’, only to be thwarted by locals and a scheduled lockdown and blackout. It’s inspired by The

Topics Mentioning This Author

Albert Camus
“There is not love of life without despair about life.”
Albert Camus, Lyrical and Critical Essays

Franz Kafka
“I am a cage, in search of a bird.”
Franz Kafka

William Shakespeare
“This goodly frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory, this most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave o'erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire, why, it appears no other thing to me than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours. What a piece of work is a man! how noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals! And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust?”
William Shakespeare, Hamlet

Franz Kafka
“I carry the bars within me.”
Franz Kafka

Janet Frame
“I have always disliked the morning, it is too responsible a time, with the daylight demanding that it be 'faced' and (usually when I wake for I wake late) with the sun already up and in charge of the world, with little hope of anyone usurping or challenging its authority. A shot of light in the face of a poor waking human being and another slave limps wounded into the light-occupied territory.”
Janet Frame, Daughter Buffalo

No worries! Hope you enjoy it if you do pick it up. :)


Marianne Curley Angela Meyer, thank you for recommending S.A. Jones' The Fortress. It doesn't sound like what I might normally read, but I like to be surprised and I like to read widely, so I'm looking forward to reading this soon. It sounds intriguing. Thanks again.


Angela Meyer Hi Kris, no problem! I'm always trying to read 50 things at once. Just had a look at your profile and am looking forward to browsing your shelves. I joined Goodreads about a month ago, and am (slowly) adding and categorising. It's great fun.
