Like Kip, Emma Gourlay grew up with a black dad and a white mum and a buffel in her head (in Afrikaans, 'buffel' is the word for a special, rare creature.) Emma dropped out of law school and opened a vintage-clothing shop, but when it was bulldozed to make way for apartments she started to write. She lives in Melbourne.
