Description
Where I Slept is the story of a young woman’s devastating and inspirational search for a life of artistic integrity.
Leaving a seedy boarding house in a provincial town in the 1990s, she travels to Melbourne—to all the possibilities of the city. She lives in bohemian share houses with painters, activists, addicts and petty criminals, on the couches of friends and not-so-accommodating acquaintances and, for a time, in the streets, parks and railway stations of a city both richly gratifying and callously indifferent.
Libby Angel’s work of autofiction is an unforgettable portrait of a life on the fringes, peppered with dark humour and moments of elation—a poem of longing and desire.
Advance Praise
‘Sharp and sobering…Angel’s work shares the grittiness of Helen Garner’s writing…and the dry, black humour of Meg Mason.’—Books+Publishing
‘A kicker of a novel, full of beauty and grit.’—Mandy Beaumont, author of The Furies
‘An unsparing, unflinching and exquisitely precise rendering of 1990s Melbourne counter-culture.’—Edwina Preston, author of Bad Art Mother
