Out Here

It was like this. In the school toilets, Brett Viney, seventeen, knifed himself. A botched act, never really suicide. His teacher speaks first: how Brett staggered into her room, clutching his stomach. Then there's the family -- his grandfather, sounding off about the parents and their rows; Cheryl Browne, his father's mistress; his aunt, the cornmie. All have their say. So does Brett. It happened out here, in Melbourne, Australia. Ordinary people. Ordinary lives. Extraordinary poetry.Wearne, Alan is the author of 'Out Here' with ISBN 9780906427729 and ISBN 090642772X.
