'Each month we celebrate an Australian debut release of fiction or non-fiction in the Kill Your Darlings Debut Spotlight feature. For May that debut is Peripathetic by Cher Tan (NewSouth Books), a collection of luminous and inventive essays that look beyond the performance of everyday life, seeking answers that continually elude. Paying homage to the many outsider artists, punks, drop-outs and rogue philosophers who came before, this book is about the resistance of orthodoxies—even when it feels impossible.' (Introduction)
