Serengotti

In the one tumultuous day, Ch’anzu loses hir job and finds wife Scarlet in bed with a stranger. As life unexpectedly spirals out of control, Ch’anzu turns to hir charismatic Aunt Maé for comfort and wisdom, and makes the bold move to work on a project in Serengotti, a migrant African outpost near Wagga Wagga in rural Australia.

Melbourne-based author Eugen Bacon’s first non-speculative novel has been described by David Carlin as ‘thrillingly alive, visceral, funny, and poetic, this is a story of what happens after your world falls apart, and you are forced to piece together a new one—a bittersweet tale of love, desire and kin, of what we carry and what holds us afloat.’ Lisa Hill in a five-star advance review in ANZ Lit Lovers has described it as ‘a wild ride, yet strangely comforting because it’s a powerful assertion of the gifts diversity brings to our culture and society.’
