Download or read book The Flight of Birds written by Lobb, Joshua and published by Sydney University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-01 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Flight of Birds is a novel in twelve stories, each of them compelled by an encounter between the human and animal worlds. The birds in these stories inhabit the same space as humans, but they are also apart, gliding above us. The Flight of Birds: A Novel in Twelve Stories explores what happens when the two worlds meet. Joshua Lobb’s stories are at once intimate and expansive, grounded in an exquisite sense of place. The birds in these stories are variously free and wild, native and exotic, friendly and hostile. Humans see some of them as pets, some of them as pests, and some of them as food. Through a series of encounters between birds and humans, the book unfolds as a meditation on grief and loss, isolation and depression, and the momentary connections that sustain us through them. Underpinning these interactions is an awareness of climate change, of the violence we do to the living beings around us, and of the possibility of transformation. The Flight of Birds will change how you think about the planet and humanity’s place in it.

Download or read book Bird Country written by Claire Aman and published by Text Publishing. This book was released on 2017-08-28 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sparkling debut from an exciting new voice in Australian fiction, Claire Aman. Bird Country is a collection of spare and affecting portraits of ordinary people in rural Australia. A boat trip in a squall to scatter the ashes of an old man, who was not loved. A young father, driving his daughters home across grass plains, unable to tell them that their mother has died. A speech that doesn’t include the aching pain of trying to save a cousin’s life. A mother hiding her fugitive son in a cockatoo cage as the river rises. A man pouring his life into finding the perfect stained glass after his wife has left him. A woman longing for the right person to tell about her sister’s death, while she works nightshift at a roadhouse. These are moving and evocative stories about love and loss and yearning—and the things we don’t say. Claire Aman is a strong new voice in Australian fiction. Claire Aman grew up in Melbourne, but has lived most of her life in rural Australia, in and around Grafton in New South Wales. Her short stories have been published in a number of collections and several have won prizes, including the Wet Ink/CAL Prize and the Hal Porter Prize. ‘A suite of quietly beautiful short stories based in and around Grafton: A loving snapshot of a naturally beautiful but slightly melancholy rural centre. They are stories of fierce family loyalties, old age, poverty and small dignities, the kind that country towns seem to embody.’ Books+Publishing ‘Aman’s tales are burnished with a quiet intensity: While there’s a precision to the placing of each word that speaks of a controlling rigour, the actual content of these 16 stories reveals a certain freewheeling dramatic flair...Here is grief and beauty in symphony.’ Australian ‘Aman’s ideas are original and her imagination fertile...Aman is capable of some showstopper phrases, such as the “naked and mortified brightness” of the dead possum’s eyes in “Sustenance”, and she has a nice line in dry humour...Peopled with memorable and often touching characters, and redolent of Australia, Bird Country is a thoroughly enjoyable and varied reading experience, and Aman is a writer to watch.’ NZ Listener ‘A variety of birds—both free and caged—illustrate the human condition...I enjoyed the variety of emotions and the rich imagery in Aman’s anthology.’ Good Reading, FOUR STARS ‘It is rare these days that a complete collection of short stories can sustain a sense of breathless wonder throughout each and every piece included in its pages...But in the Australian short story scene, exciting things are happening, and I believe Claire Aman’s debut collection Bird Country is one of them...This is a collection that will bear reading and rereading, and rereading again in the years to come.’ AU Review ‘The 16 stories capture snapshots of poignant experiences and moments in time that are rich in emotion and thought-provoking. Inspired by motorcyclists, sailors, uninvited guests, bridge jumpers and bird fanciers, Aman tells her stories in descriptive prose and paints images that remain with you long after you have turned the final page.’ Weekly Times ‘A suite of fresh and beautiful short stories from the broken families and clapped-out pubs and river towns of rural Australia.’ Helen Garner, Sydney Morning Herald’s Year in Reading ‘Claire Aman’s warm and tough debut collection Bird Country carries such technical command that Aman is already an established hand at the form.’ Saturday Paper, Best Books of 2017, Best New Talent
