1 1 y separately published work icon Dental Tourism Mark O'Flynn , Glebe : Puncher and Wattmann , 2020 18652403 2020 selected work short story

'A young girl flies alone to Antarctica. A man goes on holiday and meets the politician he thinks has ruined his life. Here are ordinary characters in unusual circumstances, trying to cope with the vagaries that life throws at them. The unexpected repercussions of going to Thailand for dental work or floundering on the high seas in a sinking yacht.

'Meet Ned Kelly as you’ve never seen him. Listen to an articulate budgie ruminating on his destiny. From the domestic to the sublime and the sublimely absurd, these stories will take you out of your comfort zone. Blundering through life, O'Flynn’s characters adapt to the pitfalls they dig for themselves, coming to grips with their tenuous place in a world slightly off balance.' (Publication summary)
