Georgie Harris
SHORTLISTED FOR THE DOROTHY HEWETT AWARD
Georgie has moved into their 92-year-old grandmother’s secluded house and away from their terminally ill father. They’re casually employed as a guinea pig for people learning the art of auric massage. Lonely, _____ starved and far from home (in every sense), Georgie seeks companionship in increasingly unusual places: a serial killer possum that lives outside their window, nude pack animals reflected in their mirror, and the warm embrace of their meticulously cultivated gut microbiome. That is, until their ____ friend Adam decides to set them up with his __ lover Freya.
As Georgie and Freya grow more intimate, Adam drifts further from reach, being drawn, as he is, into the orbit of his charismatic housemate Nate (an older man with a proud proclivity for ______ meats). But when Nate persuades Adam into a _____________ exchange, everyone’s tenuous relationship with their own body is drawn into sharper focus.
Grotty, visceral and savagely incisive, Perpetual Stew confronts the quiet violences of middle-class Melbournian ennui.
