The Source of the Sound
"The Source of the Sound" traces the journeys of exiles in search of home. The collection is littered with the mise-en-scène of being lost: motel rooms, alcohol abuse, prostitution ... Yet, in each story there is some elemental contact with light and sound, the product of the characters' longing for simple, uncorrupted, reorienting signs.

Praise for this book
To paraphrase the famous movie line: I'd like to have what Holland's having. His imagination is unrivalled.--Jennifer Somerville "Good Reading Magazine "
On 'Music for Airports' The story, musically told in a counter-point of bird and man, takes a number of unexpected turns before reaching its rueful diminuendo, all the while emphasizing the great cultural distances that persist in this era of alleged globalization.--Jeffrey Poacher "Australian Book Review "
On 'Flame Bugs' A beautiful and bittersweet story about childhood innocence lost, and written in tough lean prose, its denouement leaves a lingering impression.--Justine Ettler "Sydney Morning Herald "
