In this stunning collection, internationally acclaimed writer David Malouf gives us bookish boys and taciturn men, strong women and wayward sons, fathers and daughters, lovers and husbands, a composer and his muse. These are their stories, whole lives brought dramatically into focus and powerfully rooted in the vividly rendered landscape of the vast Australian continent. Malouf writes about men and women looking for something they seem to have missed, or missed out on, puzzling over not only their own lives but also the place they have come to occupy in the lives of others. This single volume gathers both a new collection of Malouf's short fiction, Every Move You Make, and all of his previously published stories.

Dug a cellar, filled it with wine. Thinking of moving in. Writes fiction. Unagented. Obscure. Can't play "Ten Guitars" on ukelele, but a man must have a dream.

@africanraingod The Lockdown Tales “A witty, crisp & lively imagination let loose: the defiant challenge to a lockdown. Best book of stories I’ve read since Lucia Berlin’s Manual for Cleaning Women, and David Malouf's The Complete Stories" Adrian Colman, Emeritus Professor of English, Uni Tas https://t.co/nvkAOYiLuB
