- Release Date: 2019-09-01
- Genre: Short Stories
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 naïvety. 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 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
