註釋Sex, love, marriage, aging, eating disorders, obsessive fantasies, psychiatric disorders, stalking, urban multiethnicities and the traditional Australian working class family -- they're all here, viewed through the eyes and reflections of the new independent single Anglo-Australian 'everywoman'. Maureen Connolly's performance pieces, monologues and poems celebrate the richness and diversity of cultures in Brisbane's inner city West End. She has an acute eye for her own and others' foibles and eccentricities and a deep compassion for the underdog, the lonely, the unwanted, the elderly, and those suffering from physical or psychiatric disabilities. This is a great collection: amusing, sardonic, poignant, passionate and authentic in its representations of contemporary urban life. And it's a good read too!
