Huon Writes: An anthology from the Tasmanian south - Paperback

by Huon Writes (Created by), Susan Young (Editor), Meng Koach (Editor)

Ten stories - fiction and non-fiction, in ten distinctive voices - from lutruwita Tasmania's beautiful Huon Valley.

Stories of shipwrecks in the wild south, of coming, of leaving, and of camping on the edge. Farming with care. Protest, family, good wine, and always the voice of the Huon.

Spend a morning on the farm with Bob Brown; follow Matthew Evans as he settles in the Huon; take flight with Zoe Davidson as she leaves for Melbourne. Kate Kruimink explores the unease of social disconnect at an end-of-year family gathering, while Marjorie Gadd imagines a surprising meeting in a Huonville. Wine journalist Winsor Dobbin offers a historical tour of Huon Valley wineries; Lisa Litjens celebrates the natural beauty of kunanyi; David L Hume writes of wanderers and outsiders in the wild places. Wren Fraser Cameron weaves a layered tale of how history speaks to the present, and Isaac Gee riffs on the otherworldliness of a clear winter's night in the far south.

Read them in one go or dip into them on a break, and find out what Huon valley writers are writing about today.
