All Sorts – Steve Dow

All Sorts – Steve Dow

Sydney journalist-turned-author Steve Dow’s new novel All Sorts is part expose, part wishful thinking about the state of his city and Australia as a whole in 2011.

The novel centres around a neighbourhood book group: over discussions about The Bride Stripped Bare, The Corrections, The Secret and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, the book club members’ own desires, envies and secrets spill out.

Members of the unlikely group include a new mother, a transsexual provocateur, a pistol-packing excommunicated nun, a muscle-bound bisexual man and a pair of 20-something twins who speak in text abbreviations and fret that their

Kindles went out of fashion the day they got them. Each acts as a conduit for wry satire on the diverse nature of modern Australian society.

“This is a book that buoyantly imagines an Australia where everyone is equal and no one has to beg for relationship recognition. Clearly, it straddles the genres of satire, contemporary romance and, considering the intransigence on same-sex marriage at the home and hearth of the Lodge in Canberra, improbable fantasy,” Dow said.

The novel is at this stage only available as an eBook. It can be bought via Amazon for only 99 cents US.
