Author(s): Cameron Ansell

FICTION

In these blackly humorous and twisting tales, Anson Cameron takes you to the darker fringes ofAustralia's heartland, where babies are traded illegally out of Ford Falcons, red cordial makes men weep, and the great Australian dream has all but dried up. Love them, like them, or hate them, Anson Cameron's heroes are ordinary people, all trying to make a buck and beat the system. In "Nice Shootin', Cowboy," ragged realism meets sparse and graceful prose in a rare fusion. Gritty with irony and spiked with wit, "Nice Shootin' Cowboy" is a finely crafted collection of award-winning stories."
