You Lose These + Other Stories ebook

by Goldie Goldbloom

About the Book

‘Prepare to encounter startling epiphanies, wonderfully eccentric conceits, and standout instances of wit and observation begging to be re-read. Among its well-pitched moments of vulnerability are further surprises: much that’s dark and sly, and – better still – twisted and bent.’ — Tom Cho

Short stories from Goldie Goldbloom, award-winning author of The Paperbark Shoe.

Dark. Delicious. Superb.

Praise for the book
‘Goldie Goldbloom is the queen of the opening sentence … Goldbloom reels you in with her chiselled, teasing voice that assumes many guises and multiple rhythms.’ — Courier Mail

‘Goldbloom’s voice, idiosyncratic and consistently fascinating, plumbs a rich vein of originality that is refreshing and, above all, fun to read … a strong contender for the most interesting and innovative short story collection of the year.’ — Chris Flynn, Australian Book Review

‘All fiction has elements of nonfiction to it. Not that Goldbloom’s father (or anyone else, for that matter) dropped her off a roof, but all the scenes in all these stories are nearly unanimously that shocking, and that true, and that good … Did she ever taste muskrat? That’s anybody’s guess. But one thing’s for certain: She can write well enough to make you think you did.’ — Matthue Roth, Galus Australis

‘What’s constant is the surprising insight or odd turn that the stories take.’ — Scoop Magazine

‘…it’s as if we have a glimpse for a few pages into the very heart of characters’ conscious thoughts.’ — Readings Monthly

‘GOLDBLOOM’S surprising stories are full of wild expression that jitterbug and jive while spinning dark tales of the underbelly, the poignant, the earthy and the damned … Goldbloom reels you in with her chiselled, teasing voice.’ — The Sunday Territorian

‘… Goldbloom’s writing is dark, introverted and morbidly appealing.’ — The Age
