The short stories of Pierz Newton-John move through the full range of masculine experience, with an openness, not afraid to show men at their most lonely, sexual, loving, sometimes vulnerable, sometimes abusive. Tender moments between father and son, first sexual experiences and what men feel and think about women. Plus ca change plus c'est la meme chose...the reader is lulled by the seamless prose, the undercurrent of music, the urbane writing, the suburban settings, but it is all happening behind closed doors.
Pierz Newton-John is a former psychotherapist and the author of Fault Lines. His stories have appeared extensively in Australian literary journals and anthologies, including Kill Your Darlings, Meanjin, New Australian Stories, Overland, and The Sleepers Almanac. He won the Alan Marshall Award in 2008.
