Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. SHORTLISTED FOR THE READINGS NEW AUSTRALIAN FICTION PRIZE 2024SHORTLISTED FOR THE AUSTRALIAN BOOK DESIGN AWARDS 2025 BEST DESIGNED LITERARY FICTION/POETRY COVERFive years after violence erupted between young migrants and local police in Melbourne's inner west, a police-led trip to hike the Kokoda Trail seeks to rebuild trust. But fresh allegations of racial profiling have the community on a knife edge.For wannabe rapper Ali, pride is hard to come by in the commission towers, where friends fill the gaps left by a family secret.Classmate Tyler's anger - at his broken home, and a world that denies his dreams - is close to ignition.With her life in disarray, young and idealistic teacher Anna defies a school system that's failing her students.And Paul, a cop new to the beat, quickly realises it'll take more than community policing to fix relations with local youth.From the vial-studded stairs of the inner-city high-rises to the mud-sucking jungle of Kokoda, No Church in the Wild is a fierce interrogation of contemporary Australian society and the prejudices that still underpin it.Praise for No Church in the Wild'Murray Middleton deftly avoids the landmines in his propulsive new novel. He takes on a story whose hoary origins hark back to Blackboard Jungle, and which has for too long been mired in journalistic cliche and in hand-wringing sentimentality, and he makes it fresh, troubling and compelling. The structure is cinematic, but the real strength is in the operatic assuredness of the writing. The chorus of voices have real bite, real sting and real tenderness and truth. It sounds like real life.' CHRISTOS TSIOLKAS'I don't know if Murray Middleton is the bravest writer in Australia or the stupidest. What I do know is that No Church in the Wild is amazing; a novel of wisdom and assurance and audacity. The fact that this book exists is a triumph. The fact that it works - and that it's so good - is a miracle.' MILES ALLINSON'A fierce, urgent, necessary book.'

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. SHORTLISTED 2026 QUEENSLAND LITERARY AWARDS - STEELE RUDD AWARD FOR A SHORT STORY COLLECTIONA true artist transforms suffering into beauty. But sometimes, all you've got is the suffering. . .U Want It Darker is a bold and darkly humorous short story collection about artists struggling with their egos, facing their failures and redeeming their bad behaviour.With each exhilarating tale, Murray Middleton draws us deeper into the absurdities of creative life, inhabiting dingy painters' studios, anarchic movie sets, depraved pizza restaurants and grimy comedy clubs, as he tries not to plunge into the abyss himself.Daring, original and shot through with pathos, these stories are a gulp of fresh air from a Vogel Award-winning literary talent.Praise for U Want it Darker'Beautifully observed through an idiosyncratic and witty lens, these stories are beguilingly strange and deeply human adventures into the getting of wisdom.' - JOANNA MURRAY-SMITH'The odds are so stacked against any creative work that it's a wonder this book exists at all. Middleton's portraits of struggling artists are uncomfortably familiar, bitterly funny, and cut with honest truth.' - JENNIFER MILLS Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
