In short vignettes and longer stories, Josephine Rowe explores the idea of
things that are left behind: souvenirs, scars, prejudice. These beautifully
wrought, bittersweet stories capture everyday life in restrained poetic prose,
merging themes of collective memory and guilt, permanence and impermanence, and
inherited beliefs. A mother moves north with her young children who watch her
and try to decipher her buried grief. Two photographers document a nation's
guilt in pictures of its people's hands. An underground club in Western
Australia plays jazz to nostalgic patrons dreaming of America's Deep South. A
young woman struggles to define herself among the litter of objects an ex-lover
has left behind.
