When Roxy moves to Adelaide to go to university in 1981 she becomes caught up in the intense performance art scene. Her relationships play out against a backdrop of contrasts: the brilliant light of the Bay, shadowed by menace stalking the streets, and lonely long distance roads. This new edition has the addition of the poem ’Slugs’ by the author, first published in 1980 in LiNQ (Literature in North Queensland). Includes one black and white illustration, a photographic artwork.'A sensitive and convincing account of Australian youth culture'-Kirkus Reviews
