It's A Shame About Ray
Published by Allen & Unwin (2022)
Blackly funny and frequently devastating, this memoir traverses family, death, masculinity, hope, love, compassion and the deep relationship we can develop with music throughout our lives when nothing else is enough. It's a Shame About Ray asks how we shape new identities from old tragedies - and whether the answers might be hiding in the bestselling record of 2001.
The book was transformed into an immersive life performance for Sydney Writers Festival 2023, as well as being the subject of features in Good Weekend, The Guardian and Vogue. It also received its own episode of ABC's Conversations.
