About the Book:
Salt City Runaway is the debut collection from acclaimed Australian writer Gillian O'Shaughnessy, showcasing the linguistic precision and emotional impact of flash fiction. Unsettling, urgent and compelling, each story reveals the profound power of saying more with less - moments of tenderness, absurdity and revelation compressed into crystalline prose.
Set across the salt lakes and coastal towns of Western Australia, the book captures the beauty and brutality of the region's diverse landscapes. The stories explore Fremantle's 1970s counterculture, the red dust of the Goldfields, and the windswept shores of the South West and Great Southern become backdrops for tales of tension, loss, love and resilience. From Helen Garner moving into a letterbox to Lou Reed catching a suburban bus, the characters inhabit vivid, strange worlds where life is luminous despite the dark corners where words and secrets gather.
