Smacked, Paperback / softback Book

Smacked Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Smacked is a moving collection of stories about addiction told with heart-stopping narrative control and emotional resonance.

- Roanna Gonsalves, 2021 Carmel Digital Literary Award judge

 

Runner-Up, 2021 Carmel Digital Literary Award

 

Hecq writes playfully and with irony, thrumming prose and poetry in self-aware stories gravid with familiar yet unfamiliar protagonists and their dented victims or saviours. Smacked and other stories of addiction is a tight rope of connections and metaphors, the reader walking on tiptoe with a balancing pole, yet at the same time craving a haircut or a quince.

-Eugen Bacon, author of Claiming T-Mo and The Road to Woop Woop & Other Stories

 

DOMINIQUE HECQ grew up in Belgium. She now lives in Melbourne. Hecq writes across genres and sometimes across tongues. Her works include a novel, four collections of stories and eleven books of poetry. Tracks (2020) and Songlines (2021) are her latest offerings. With Eugen Bacon, she co-authored Speculate (2021), a microlit dialogue.
