A landmark collection in Australian literary fiction, Selected Stories gathers Frank Moorhouse's most celebrated short fiction, presenting a vivid and often darkly comic portrait of Australian social and political life across several decades. Moorhouse chronicles the lives of urban bohemians, bureaucrats, and restless outsiders navigating a world of shifting moral codes, sexual politics, and cultural identity with sharp wit and unflinching honesty. His signature discontinuous narrative style weaves recurring characters and settings into a tapestry that blurs the line between short story cycle and novel, rewarding readers with a richly layered reading experience. The tone is sardonic yet deeply humane, capturing the contradictions of modern Australian life with a precision that has cemented Moorhouse's reputation as one of the country's most important and distinctive literary voices.
