Search Tips
In order to get more accurate results, our search has the following Google-Type search functionality:
+
If you use '+' in front of a word, then that word will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry +Potter will return results with the word 'Potter'.
-
If you use '-' in front of a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry -Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
AND
If you use 'AND' between two words, then both of those words will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry AND Potter will return results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
OR
If you use 'OR' between two words, then bth of those words may or may not be present in the search results.
ex: Harry OR Potter will return results with just 'Harry', results with just 'Potter' and results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
NOT
If you use 'NOT' before a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry NOT Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
""
Placing '""' around words will perform a phrase search. The search results will contain those words in that order.
ex: "Harry Potter" will return any results with 'Harry Potter' in them, but not 'Potter Harry'.
*
Using '*' in a word will perform a wildcard search. The '*' signifies any number of characters. Searches can not start with a wildcard.
ex: Pot*er will return results with words starting with 'Pot' and ending in 'er'. In this case, 'Potter' will be a match.

Audition
210(Ht mm) 148(Wdt mm) 224
A spaceship called Audition is hurtling through the cosmos. Squashed immobile into its largest room are three giants: Alba, Stanley and Drew. If they talk, the spaceship keeps moving; if they are silent, they resume growing. Talk they must, and as they do, Alba, Stanley and Drew recover their shared memory of what has been done to their former selves - experiences of imprisonment, violence and misrecognition, of disempowerment and underprivilege. Pip Adam's uncategorisable new novel, part science fiction, part social realism, asks what happens when systems of power decide someone takes up too much room - about how we imagine new forms of justice, and how we transcend the bodies and selves we are given. Praise for Nothing to See: 'Brilliantly written...Pip Adam shows us what it is to fall apart and the cost of being reconstituted.' - Australian Book Review 'A complex and mind-bending exploration of the challenges of staying together...It invites readers to consider the many ways the developed world is fragmenting and dividing women.' - Mascara Literary Review 'A total masterpiece. Gripping, weird, funny, close to the bone. An intense portrait of sobriety, a mystery, a sci-fi novel, an urgent book about living in our panoptical present.' - Dan Kois
