Misfits and Me
NewSouth Publishing (Verlag)
978-1-74223-610-0 (ISBN)
“I fell in love with my first misfit at the age of three. He was a disabled man in a wheelchair who sold newspapers every afternoon outside the Empire Hotel in Annandale. Whenever I glimpsed him in the distance I would break into a run, jump onto his lap, and smother him with kisses.”
Misfits and Me represents a selection of Mandy Sayer’s non-fiction writing from the past twenty years. Each essay has been chosen to reflect a different aspect of Mandy’s attraction to Australia’s misfits and outsiders, with those who live in the shadows of our society.
Mandy Sayer is a prize-winning novelist, poet and memoirist, not to mention a successful non-fiction writer. Her non-fiction work includes: Dreamtime Alice, winner of the National Biography Award, the New England Booksellers’ Award in the US and Australian Audio Book of the Year; Velocity, winner of the South Australian Premier’s Award for Non-Fiction and The Age Book of the Year for Non-Fiction; and The Poet’s Wife, shortlisted for the WA Book of the Year for Non-Fiction. In addition to her successful book Australian Gypsies, she has worked as a freelance writer and journalist for many years.
