Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. When life knocks you down, have faith in Dog. After her partner and father die in quick succession, BB moves to a glamorous, condemned beachside apartment at the edge of a glittering city so memory-saturated it might be a mirage. Her plan? To rediscover the person she was before finding, and losing, the love of her life. To heal she'll party like it's 1999, walk her motley dog, Baby, and surrender to the simple joys of life alone by the sea. When a neighbour mistakes her for a dog trainer, and enlists her in correcting the murderous tendencies of his Doberman, BB feels close to a meaningful new life. Harnessing the tenets of Cesar Millan the dog whisperer, and other less canine-centric canons, she helps local dogs and their wealthy, oblivious owners to distinguish between the things they can and cannot change. She even takes tentative steps towards new intimacies-with safely unavailable Franz, and sultry, free-spirited Vera. But life in Balboa Bay is increasingly surreal. Baby is sending telepathic messages. A nearby prison quotes philosophers over the intercom. The other dog trainers think BB is scab labour. And somewhere on her street there's a dog that sounds like the wind. Cinematic, heart-breaking, often hilarious, Why We Are Here is a singular love story for strange days. Doyle's witty prose revels in the solace of the natural world, in conversing with writers who have lost and endured, and above all in the profound connection between a woman and her dog. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

A description of our secondhand books is not always available. Please contact us if you have a question about this title. Author: Briohny Doyle Format: Paperback Number of Pages: 316 The Island Will Sink is set decades from now - a not-too-distant future which is not so different. The energy crisis has come and gone. Cities have been rethought and redesigned, and Ecolaw (TM) is enforced by insidious cartoon Pandas and their armies of viral-marketing children. Max Galleon is a filmmaker of immersive cinema, a father to two children distressed by the world around, a distant husband, a brother to a comatose mystery man, and falling rapidly in love with a doctor who is not what she seems. The Island Will Sink is a terrific postmodern science fiction novel in the vein of Michel Houellebecq and Phillip K. Dick, and marks the official breakthrough of a compelling literary talent. "The structure is adventurous, dense and poetic.I thought of J.G Ballard's imaginatively coherent, hard-edged, full-fledged imaginings" - Luke Davies, author of 'Candy' and 'God of Speed', Screenwriter of 'Life' and 'Lion' "The Island Will Sink is not 'just' a novel. It is the most assured and innovative debut I have read in a long time, one that has me excited about poliyical possibilities of postmodern fiction." - Pip Smith, 'The Australian'. Full The Australian review here. "Science fiction fans will spot echoes of J. G. Ballard and Philip K. Dick in the narrative and quirky incidental moments (Max's socks have an inbuilt compass and his house changes its settings when he enters). 'The Island Will Sink' is groundbreaking enough to hope it might lead to greater interest in publishing Australian science fiction." - The Saturday Paper. Full The Saturday Paper review here.
