8 States of Catastrophe takes us on a journey through the
Australian continent, exposing snapshots of lives both separate and
delicately connected. Mysterious coincidences and a series of
catastrophes accompany an ex-journalist and his faithful dog as
they twist their way around the continent in this unashamedly
Australian novel. From the political fringes of Canberra to the
northern beaches of New South Wales, and into the outback of
Queensland (where a mysterious oasis exists on the edge of
reality), the story trains an unwavering lens on lives
catastrophically altered. In places as diverse as a West Australian
wheat belt town and suburban St Kilda, our trip guides - MV (a
motorcycle-riding psychic poet) and Rider (his old black Labrador)
- introduce us to an eclectic cast: Daniella of the nine lines;
Ninette, the Keeper of Secrets; Anjellica, a talk-show host lured
back to Melbourne from Chicago, and her charismatic
chairman-of-the-Melbourne-Football-Club boyfriend; and Carmel,
whose childhood was a breeding ground for murderous revenge. Lives
intersect, and loss and love collide in this intricate web of
humanity.
