My head was full of her, because that's what I did. I got crushes, I got big ideas, I got ten steps ahead of myself. I placed any small prospect in a vice-like grip, and I applied the crushing force that broke it.

Venice is the second in this series of 5 subtly interconnected novellas.
I actually loved this one. In it we follow Ryan who has recently lost his job and moved in with his sister and her family. He's helping around the house, making dinners and looking after her young son, Harrison, while she makes art (and waits to hear if she'll be the feature artist at the next Venice Biennale) and her husband has a busy dentistry career.
Harrison is a ipad kid and the story mostly focuses on how Ryan connects with Harrison and engages with him in a way his parents just aren't, culminating in them taking a road trip to pick up some materials for an art piece.
I found it very sweet and a little funny and I'm really enjoying this series.
Nick Earls is one of those auto-buy authors for me, which means I have just about everything he's written but I've only read like half of it. So it felt really good to make a start on this series of interconnected novellas that I've owned since like 2016.
The first one, Gotham, follows an Aussie journo in New York to interview a rapper. It was good - just a really lovely little book, the ending made me more emotional than I expected and I liked it a lot. I'm interested to see where the rest of the novellas go and how they fit together.

Interview with Richard Wilson and Emma Lung who at the time were starring in another one of my faves '48 Shades', based on the book by Nick Earls.
I love this film so much. I love the set design, the vibes, the sensitivity this kid has. Love it all.
For whatever reason, the film was renamed 'Australian Pie: Naked Love', which is a strong misrepresentation of what the film actually is. In other news, the director played the character David Van Arkle in 'Muriel's Wedding' which is cool.

When I decided to re-read Bachelor Kisses I needed something light and funny. Last year I re-read Zigzag Street also by Nick Earls and since they're sort of linked - the roommate in one is the MC in the other - I figured it'd be a good choice.
I do remember enjoying Bachelor Kisses the first time I read it but I think I was probably a little young (or maybe not young, maybe just too clueless about sex jsfhskdksd) to fully understand a lot of what happened in it last time. But this time I found it so hilarious. So glad I decided to pick it up again, i'll defs have to re-read a few more of Earls' books!
A little while ago at work we hosted a literary festival which featured a number of local authors, slam poets and illustrators. One of those authors was Nick Earls so it only felt right to read one of his books in the lead up to the event. Those of you who've been following me since fairly early on may recognise this book since I've definitely posted about it before lmao but that's because it's been a favourite of mine for years. What can I say? I love a pathetic man and Richard Derrington is one of the most pathetic men I've read about. Phenomenal.
#1: 48 Shades of Brown
 by Nick Earls, 1999
I first read this book in either my last year of middle school or early high school. I picked it from the “teen” section of the Archdale Public Library, mostly because of the brightly-colored cover design and the weird duck on the front. By the time I was a senior in high school I had checked it out so many times I had purchased my own copy. The dialogue was witty, the main character was relatable in ways I didn’t fully understand at the time, and there was excessive talk of Romeo and Juliet in a non-derisive way. As a lit nerd in a school where most of my peers spark-noted their way through assignments when they had to and skimmed texts where they didn’t, a book that was sympathetic to analyzing plays was A+ in my book. I periodically returned to this book as a nice afternoon read during my college years; a sort of breath of fresh air in between ethnographies and writing papers, but I did not do much in terms of thinking about it. On New Years Day this year I decided it was time to visit with this book again, and I’m so glad I did.Â
