Father's Day
Tony Birch
‘Father’s Day is a book with emotion, but not cloying sentiment; it offers sharp observation coupled with empathy. Above all, it is uniquely Australian.’—Sunday Age
‘Humanity looms large within these pages … the prose is understated and subtle with images deftly wrought. These perfectly realised stories … are inflected with the kind of humour reminiscent of Raymond Carver’s dark wit.’ — The Age
‘To make stories look and sound so heartbreakingly real you need an unflinching eye and a compassionate ear and Tony Birch knows just what details are going to go straight to his reader’s heart.
Loss, memory, and the invisible ties that bind — Birch’s subject matter is ordinary life, lit from within with an honesty which makes his characters and their travails achingly familiar.’ — Cate Kennedy
