EcoTheo has published the first excerpt of my verse novel A Short Life full of Pessimism. This section describes Augie Sauers' and Amory Lovins' time spent living with the Mattiske sisters along Port Wakefield Road. A blessing of the cows, Corinthians 13 and Tupperware feature, alongside Shirley Mattiske's pleas to God.
I've been working on this novel since 1998. It describes the journey of a baker named Augie Sauers through deserted cities and abandoned countryside. He's not sure why. Maybe something to do with an accident, or maybe the world's ended, or maybe, most likely, he's in Purgatory.
