EXCLUSIVE! Dispatches from The Paris End

Our first book!

EXCLUSIVE! brings together a selection of nineteen lively essays from the first years of The Paris End, each illustrated by house cartoonist, Aaron Billings. Hurst, Olds and Schwartz take you into corset-making studios, art fairs, micro-dairies, apartment developments, university pubs, biohacking spas, court rooms, and the musty offices of the city’s Lacanian psychoanalysts. They ask urgent questions, such as: Can the male lesbian speak? Would you want to live forever if you had to live in Docklands? How does one emulate Frank Moorhouse’s financial ability to stay fed with caviar, and watered with champagne?

In this anthology, three distinct voices collaborate to mythologise a time and place, making Melbourne feel as worthy of attention as London, New York or Berlin.
