Understanding Almost Nothing of the World, Paperback / softback Book

Understanding Almost Nothing of the World Paperback / softback

Part of the SW Smalls Series series

Paperback / softback

Description

Set against a backdrop of suburban Australia and rural South Korea, a boy becomes a man and continues to question what he knows about the world. Understanding Almost Nothing of the World is a collage of fragmented memories about the ephemerality of childhood relationships and an evocative journey of self-realisation through the lens of adult naivety.

  

Understanding Almost Nothing of the World anatomises an Australian-ness in a global culture, and thence codifies the troubling and melancholic nature of the senseless.

Moya Costello, 2019 Carmel Bird Digital Literary Award judge
