Second City: Essays from Western Sydney
The diverse literary talents of Western Sydney writers are showcased in Second City, a new collection of non-fiction essays published by the Sydney Review of Books.
The collection takes resistance against conformity and uncritical consensus as one of its central themes and affirms that Western Sydney writing can be represented by no single form, opinion, style, poetics, or state of mind.
Contributors to Second City include Zohra Aly, Frances An, Rawah Arja, Luke Carman, Felicity Castagna, Eda Gunaydin, George Haddad, Raaza Jamshed, Yumna Kassab, May Ngo, Aleesha Paz, Sheila Ngoc Pham, Martyn Reyes and Amanda Tink.
