Encounters

Compelling short stories by Tim Winton, Sophie Cunningham, David Malouf, Pete Goldsworthy, Margo Lanagan, Anthony Lynch and many more of Australia's finest modern writers.

Esteemed author Barry Oakley's selection of Australian short stories has become an eagerly awaited annual event, gathering growing critical accliam. This year's anthology is equally exciting.

All the stories in this collection centre on encounters of varying kinds: meetings that range from the intensely erotic, as in Sophie Cunningham's *Geography* to Sandy McCutcheon's moving true story of his first meeting with his adult daughter, whom he had tried to trace since her infancy. Barry Oakley has cast his net wide to assemble this treaury of Australia's leading writers in a broad range of genres.
