Adelaide Noir
Alex Frayne
Jacketed HB 128 PP 260 x 250 FULL COLOUR T/OUT ISBN 9781743053171 Art October $39.95
Three years ago photographer Alex Frayne set about reshaping the way South Australians see their state.
Adelaide Noir was born.
The series moved quickly from the cult shadows to bright places in homes and galleries. Now the photographs are
seen daily by a growing legion of fans. Alex’s images of factories, playgrounds and shopping centres give voice to his
darkly comic vision, seeking beauty in the mundane, and art wherever it may be found.
‘Alex Frayne’s work is at once haunting and beautiful. His cinematic eye brings a Kubrick-ian perfection and symmetry
to the suburban landscape and he totally revamps our memories of time and place. Adelaide has never looked so
luminous.’ – Greg Mackie, OAM
• Special cover that folds out to be double-sided colour poster!

Every Time You Close Your Eyes
Bel Schenk
9 781743 053195
PB 96 PP 210 x 135 B&W ISBN 9781743053195 Poetry October $19.95
The lights go out just before dark.
There is a blackout in the city
and people blame lightning.
There are many different ways to tell this story.
This is one of them.
‘Bel Schenk tells the story of disparate characters sharing New York City through two blackouts. Through a blunt
poetic style infused with subtle irony and a tact for laying down a soul (Deep inside is exactly what you are thinking
right now) Schenk adheres to people wanting to connect, with each other and with themselves. Every Time You Close Your Eyes
is a work of intense atmospheric enquiry.’ – Heather Taylor Johnson
‘The inflections with which Bel Schenk greets that odd couple, urban love and urban loneliness, are all her own.’ –
J.M. Coetzee, on Ambulances and Dreamers by Bel Schenk
‘There is a knowingness, an ambiguity at the heart of Schenk’s poetry that resists easy labels.’ – Geoffrey Lehmann, Australian

The Case for Palestine
The perspective of an Australian observer
Paul Heywood-Smith
9 781743 053300
PB 160 PP 210 x 135 B&W ISBN 9781743053300 History/Politics October $24.95
Paul Heywood-Smith’s interest in the Arab–Israeli conflict commenced in London in 1973 at the time of the
Yom Kippur War. He was then a young lawyer imbued with the values derived from the fight against apartheid and
opposition to the Vietnam War. His thesis is that the conflict is the defining conflict of our time, and has had that
status for at least sixty years. It is behind the rise of militant Islam. It was the impetus for 9/11 and 7/7.
The Case for Palestine presents the history and the issues objectively – and subjectively – in a way comprehensible by
all in society. Not to be informed of the Arab–Israeli conflict is to fail to understand what is happening in our lives:
in respect of our privacy, our national defence, our security when travelling, our future and our children’s future.
Heywood-Smith argues that it is the responsibility of all adult and thinking members of the world community to
inform themselves of the background to the conflict and the current issues associated with its resolution.
It is not good enough for thinking people to say to themselves ‘it’s too hard’. Nor is it good enough to say:
‘I am not anti-Semitic; I must support Israel.’
‘Compelling, confronting and controversial. A must read for anyone who wants to understand this interminable and
tragic conflict.’ – Nick Xenophon, Senator for South Australia
• Very topical, outlining a strong and possibly controversial stance
• Immediate media interest expected
• Author founding member and chairman of Australian Friends of Palestine Association (AFOPA), a voluntary not for
profit organisation that has as its primary object the promotion of peace in Palestine based on international law and
relevant UN resolutions (see www.afopa.com.au)
• Supports international sympathy for the disproportionate force used by Israel against Palestinians

Hunger Town
A novel
Wendy Scarfe

PB 456 PP 210 x 135 B&W ISBN 9781743053362 Fiction October $29.95
‘Here,’ he shouted, ‘here is a daughter of the working class. Not your idle rich dressed in silks and satins. She has to
work every day. Tell them what you think of capitalism,’ he insisted, still gripping my hand. ‘Tell them what it’s like
to be a poor woman in grinding employment.’
In the violent and despairing years of Australia’s Great Depression, Judith Larsen grows up on a coaling hulk in the
Port Adelaide River. The Australian political landscape is changing and unemployment, hunger, protests and police
reprisals spawn new radical ideas for managing society.
Judith falls in love with Harry, an idealistic dreamer who embraces the dogma of the Communist Party while she
flourishes as a satirical cartoonist. Political tensions rise between them but when Harry’s life is threatened Judith
embarks on a perilous journey across the world to save him. In doing so she comes face to face with the cruelty and
oppression of fascism and the importance of those who fight against it.
Drawn from family recollections and based on historical events, this powerful Australian novel tells of brave people
caught up in the inspiration and the pity of great but lost causes.
• To be launched at the Port Adelaide library

Memoirs of Mixed Fortunes
Samuel Joseph Stuckey, a pioneer of the north and south east of South Australia,
1837–1912
Edited by Mary Louise Simpson
PB 128 PP 234 x 160 COLOUR PHOTO SECTION ISBN 9781743053355 History October $22.95
Pioneer
tales
In 1837, mere months after proclamation, Samuel Joseph Stuckey was born in the state of South Australia. Despite
evidence to the contrary, he would claim to be the first native-born South Australian for the rest of his life, and his
fortunes would mirror those of the fledgling state.
Edited and annotated by his great-granddaughter Mary Louise Simpson, Stuckey’s memoirs chart his failures and
successes first hand. He explains his role in the Burke and Wills tragedy; the trials of opening up new grazing lands
in the inhospitable north; and expeditions to British India (now Pakistan) to buy camels for use in the outback.
However, no event would have such an impact – nor be so remembered – as the moment in 1864 when he shot and
killed an Aboriginal man named Pompey. His reasons for this action, and the events that followed it, form the focal
point of a fascinating account of early colonial life.

This ‘history of History’ provides a series of perspectives on a major academic discipline at the University of Adelaide,
from colonial times to the present. Essays by current and former academics and students explore the distinctive
character of Adelaide’s History Department. They highlight changing fashions and fortunes in modes of research,
teaching and governance, and the numerous ways in which the university’s historians interacted with civic, state,
national and international communities.
Besides surveying the remarkable transformations of the History Office, Pasts Present includes a series of specially
commissioned memoirs and reminiscences by History students from the 1940s to the 1980s, including former
State Deputy Premier Don Hopgood and Federal Minister Amanda Vanstone. A reflective essay by Vesna Drapac, the
first female Head of History, rounds out this lively portrait of a remarkably diverse, innovative and influential
educational enterprise.
