SIGNED in full & briefly INSCRIBED by the Australian author in blue ink on page following title page: "To the poets, Lin Van Hek". Contains 13 pieces, which The Age calls "a lively noisy engaging piece of writing". From the rear cover: "Lin Van Hek is a writer who trusts and follows her instincts. At the heart of her work is a desire to expose the fragility and chaos that skitters just beneath the surface of our seemingly ordered lives. Her tales can veer from the mundane to the sacred, and from the prosaic to the magical in one sentence. Once the genie is let loose, all hell can break out, and a bit of heaven too." - Arnold Zable (Jewels and Ashes). From Lin's website: "Lin Van Hek, an acclaimed Australian author, was born and raised in Melbourne. She lived for many years in India and Belgium. She was the lead singer of the electro-dance band, Skin The Wig, in the 80s, and a song she wrote and sang was part of the first Terminator film score in the US. She recorded a solo CD River of Life, featuring songs of New Zealand writer, Kath Tait. She has published two novels: The Hanging Girl, and The Ballad of Siddy Church, and has just completed her third, Katherine Mansfield's Black Paper Fan, as well as several books of short stories. She is a previous winner of the Melbourne Age Short Story Contest. Lin is also a respected fashion designer, with her own label, Lin Van Hek Design, working in collaboration with women entrepreneurs in the mountain villages of North Vietnam."
