Shirl
Author(s): Wayne Marshall
Australian Authors | Charlotte | Short Stories
Shortlisted for the 2019 VPLA for an unpublished manuscript, Shirl expertly dissects the Australian identity through a range of what-if scenarios: a lonely yowie emerges from the bush to attend the Desperate and Dateless Ball; mysterious creatures descend from the sky to place a ban on footy; a shark named Bruce turns up in the local swimming pool
Staff notes: Wow! What to say about Shirl? This is perhaps the shrewdest, the weirdest, the most imaginative appraisal of mainstream Australian culture and masculinity I've ever read. This is Wayne Marshall's first collection of short stories and I hope it's not his last. — Charlotte
