The Age of Fibs: stories, memoir, microlit - new & selected (English Edition)
WINNER OF THE 2018 CARMEL BIRD DIGITAL LITERARY AWARD
Beth Spencer’s award-winning collection crosses boundaries of genre, time, history and desire; meditating on how we create ourselves through culture and stories, and why it matters.
An Angel is suspended beneath a forest-green canopy; a girl watches Bewitched and dreams of being part of a coven; a man struggles to wrest back control of his story; and the cast of Fatal Attraction are let loose on the streets of Newtown. Memories of football and class, museums, tv families, Barbie dolls, and growing up in the age of Fibs bras and the rise and fall of the Whitlam government.
From the author of the critically acclaimed How to Conceive of a Girl, this collection explores family, sexuality, bodies, loss, and belonging – seamlessly interweaving the past and the future, the critical and nostalgic, the experimental and the intimate.
‘Often playful, albeit serious, The Age of Fibs gives vivid insights into the small and large moments of the human story. It was a great pleasure to encounter this gem.’ — Carmel Bird
‘Spencer’s work brims with energetic, provocative, and idiosyncratically stylish writing.’ — Felicity Plunkett
‘Though the title might hint otherwise, The Age of Fibs is an exploration of truth, and the power of the stories we tell to create history and shape the world. It’s consistently compelling and thought-provoking, rich with humour, complexity, and a deep understanding of the frailties that make us who we are.’ — Magdalena Ball, Compulsive Reader
