Where There's Smoke: Outstanding Short Stories by Australian Men

by Black Inc. (Editor), Murray Bail (Contributor), Tony Birch (Contributor)

Where There's Smoke presents outstanding short fiction by Australia's finest male writers. These are tales of love, secrets, doubt and torment, the everyday and the extraordinary.

A man sleeps at the site of a massacre and wakes refreshed. An unassuming piano tuner is sent off to contribute to the war effort. A woman with Alzheimer's is dragged along by her interfering son to visit Uluru.

Brilliant, shocking and profound, these tales will leave you reeling in ways that only a great short story can.
