'Wayne Macauley's Other Stories is a much awaited collection. Here at last Macauley's peculiar take on the world is gathered together in short stories, satires, fables and anecdotes. Many are set in the hinterland of the outer suburbs where big cars, big driveways, big houses and big skies make small people feel lost and strange. This familiar world seems eerie, like a Jeffrey Smart painting. His yarns of the margins are at the centre of our culture.'(Publisher's blurb)
