A NEW TENSE
After a traumatic event in Melbourne, Laurie escapes to Berlin, only to have to come back six months later to bury her estranged mother.
She tries to reconnect with her best friend, Jones, who’s ignoring her.
But she’s doing fine.
More or less.
Set in a boozy and drug-fuelled summer in Melbourne, A New Tense is about grief, friendships, and the family that people make when they don’t have their own.
I wrote this book as a way to express grief, and also as a response to so many of the books I read that detailed women in their twenties and thirties whose fulfilment in life was centred around monogamous heterosexual relationships. I wanted to write about my experiences and the experiences of the people around me, and to explore themes of friendship and of queer and open romances.
