'An electrifying satire on Anglo-Australian hegemony and the underbelly of the Australian Dream.'
Australian Book Review
A biting collection of stories from a bold new voice.
A young girl sees ghosts from her third eye, located where her belly button should be.
A one-dimensional yellow man steps out of a cinema screen, hoping to lead a three-dimensional life.
A journalist goes on assignment to report the latest food trend, which turns ice-cream eating into an extreme sport.
In Portable Curiosities, Julie Koh re-imagines our world with a dark, satirical twist. These 12 stories combine absurd humour with searing critiques on contemporary society – the rampant consumerism, the casual misogyny, the insidious fear of those who are different. Brilliantly clever and brimming with heart, this unforgettable collection is the work of a significant new talent.
