THE WEIGHT OF A HUMAN HEART

Ryan O'Neill

Sometimes comic, sometimes tragic, this collection turns the rules of storytelling on their head.

A series of graphs illustrates the disintegration of a marriage, step by excruciating step.

A literary stoush - and an affair - play out in the book review section of a national newspaper.

The heartbreaking story of a Rwandan boy is hidden within his English exam paper.

A young girl learns her mother's disturbing secrets through the broken key on a typewriter.

Ranging from Australia to Africa to China and back again, THE WEIGHT OF A HUMAN HEART heralds a fresh new voice in Australian literature.

Ryan O'Neill was born in Glasgow in 1975. He lived in Africa, Europe and Asia before settling in Newcastle, Australia, with his wife and two daughters. His fiction has appeared in The Best Australian Stories, The Sleepers Almanac, Meanjin, New Australian Stories, Wet Ink, Etchings and Westerly.
