'Kathleen Mary Fallon is a multi-talented writer who has been playing with language and storytelling in poetry, stage plays, feature films, and prose since the 1980s. A fixed place: the long and short of story is a collection of short stories from across her career (and some never before published works), taking the reader on a journey through the deeply personal and messy lives of a variety of characters from contemporary Australia. The book nearly defies genre definition; it feels reductive to call it ‘a short story collection’, given that the tales swing and swoop so readily between prose, poetry, prose-poetry, scripts, song lyrics, and the occasional dreamlike dive into stream of consciousness, demonstrating Fallon’s ability to leap between genres and forms. The overall effect is a dreamlike adventure through the Australian landscape and through the many playful possibilities of language.' (Introduction)
