The Feel of Steel

Cities, friends, lost loves, Antarctica, the joy of being a grandmother, weddings, fencing. Such is the array of subjects in Helen Garner’s second non-fiction collection. Some pieces were published in The Age, some are previously unpublished, but woven together they present as an evocative memoir, and offer a wonderfully personal portrait of an always unconventional talent.In word-perfect and often hilarious prose, Helen Garner reminds us of the human condition, in all its various guises.
