Another: Easyread Comfort Edition

by Joel Deane

If Toby's complete history is burnt into his skin, Suzie's redacted version is carved out of hers. Pieces are missing. Another day. Another scar. Another sunburnt suburb... Toby and Suzie are two teenagers caught in a riptide of aimless wanderings, violence and stolen cars. They want to escape Another, an estate on the edge of the suburban never-never. But first they must escape the ghosts of the past. Joel Deane's poetry and fiction has a simultaneously unflinching and gritty realism and a sophisticated lyric beauty that combines in an original, intense, and startling new voice.
