1 1 y separately published work icon Kitchen Sink Drama Paul Connolly , Melbourne : Text Publishing , 2020 19599804 2020 selected work short story

'As seen in Good Weekend: one hundred of Paul Connolly’s beloved one-hundred-word vignettes along with Jim Pavlidis’s whimsical illustrations.

'From tempestuous family roasts to the first blooms of young love, from relationship missteps to moments of familial joy, Kitchen Sink Drama reflects domestic life in all its messy, delightful and humorous glory. With characters depicted in nuanced fullness, these poignant, pithy stories capture the truth at the heart of so many of our experiences—each one a glimpse of a whole world.

'Kitchen Sink Drama is a collection of some of the finest writing on the human condition.'

1 y separately published work icon Father Figures Father Figures: In Praise (and Defence) of Dads Paul Connolly (editor), South Melbourne : Affirm Press , 2017 12361603 2017 selected work biography

'The shape of the family tree has changed irrevocably in recent decades, and there is hardly such a thing as a 'typical dad' anymore (though dad jokes, like cockroaches, never seem to die). From the grim archetype of the emotionally distant father, to the bumbling man-child who's only a pair of underpants away from being an ape and the sensitive-new-age man with a pram, there has never been more freedom for men to choose what sort of dad they want to be. Or, for that matter, so many opportunities to stuff it up!' (Publication summary)
