About
A wild ride through a disaffected youth by a gifted writer.
What happens to the adolescent spirit when all vestiges of innocence about the world are foregone, lost within the grinding sounds of concrete and metal of the CBD of Melbourne? For Dominic Gordon, train tunnels become nesting sites, carpark stairwells are spots to refuel on methamphetamine and hide from predators; agility leads him across nightclub rooftops, he slides unseen into elevators. For a rest, he rides on the back of a train as it speeds through the night. The dangers of his decades-long exploration of risk in the city streets is exhilarating.
In these original essays, Dominic explores his memories in tight prose bursting with insight, audacious ideas and dark humor.
