Mona

More about the book

The opening story of MONA, inspired by the Museum of Old and New Art located in Hobart, Tasmania, sets the stage for this collection of short stories that adds an Australian flavor to Colin Heston's acclaimed The Tommie Felon Show. As one reviewer of that collection noted "?vivid and real, some of the stories seem to jump out of the pages? engaging, hilarious, unique? a commentary on human desires, shortcomings and the society we live in?. one has to look beyond the words and the events in these stories to really appreciate them." Many of the stories appear straightforward, but their simplicity brilliantly reveals many truths about modern society-so-called-and the impossibility of human ambitions reflected in the societies they have created.
