Frank Moorhouse, one of Australia's most celebrated writers, has chosen twenty-seven pieces that, he says, 'set a new benchmark in the standard of the short story'. Inventive, adventurous, seductive and entertaining, the stories range in setting from war-torn Sarajevo to the streets of Che Guevara's Havana, from the electronic buzz of Tokyo to the waterways of ancient Rome. Both new and established writers are featured, including J. M. Coetzee, Delia Falconer and Graeme Kinross-Smith.
