These are stories from lives you don't often get to see, from authors as varied as the city itself. In collaboration with SWEATSHOP: Western Sydney Literacy Movement, Seizure has been working with emerging writers from these western suburbs we hear so much about - and a few from Seizure's regular stable. Stories of Sydney is a collection that celebrates the diversity that can exist in a single city. A place that is simultaneously welcoming and prejudiced, kind and cruel, aspirational and eccentric in its mundanity. The stories range from family drama to modern noir, from cultural clashes to the burden of memory.
