Hardback. Jack Beasley, Australasian Book Society. Edition: 1st ed.,Condition remarks:Book: Fair Jacket: Chipped and worn with some minor damagePages: Good Markings: Previous ownerA rich anthology of Australian short fiction, The Tracks We Travel: Second Collection Including Mary Gilmore Award Stories gathers a compelling range…of narratives that chronicle the lives, struggles, and resilience of ordinary Australians across varied landscapes and eras. Edited and curated with a strong commitment to working-class voices and social realism, the collection presents stories that earned recognition through the prestigious Mary Gilmore Award, celebrating writing that honors the progressive literary tradition Gilmore herself embodied. The tone throughout is grounded and humanistic, balancing moments of quiet tenderness with unflinching portrayals of hardship and community. Each story illustrates the enduring power of place and identity in shaping the Australian experience, drawing on a tradition of socially conscious storytelling that refuses to romanticize or diminish its subjects. This is an essential volume for readers who appreciate literature that speaks honestly to the human condition within a distinctly Australian cultural and historical context. Hardback.

Paperback large trade, very good condition, black & white text-photos, edges lightly foxed, minor edgewear. 106 pp. This first play by Dorothy Hewett is located solidly in the physical location of Redfern, an inner Sydney suburb. The changes that were happening at this time are reflected in the dialogue of the actors. The play i…s acted out in the years before the Vietnam War, and before young people issued their 1960s challenge to the moral values of their parents. Includes notes by Jack Beasley and Merv Lilley on the Redfern that they remember. Dorothy Hewett worked in the industrial areas of Redfern and Alexandria in the 1950s. The photos are from the first production at the New Fortune Theatre, University of Western Australia, Perth, 1967.
