About this listen
An extraordinary audiobook of non-fiction, spanning 25 years of work, by one of Australia's great writers.
Helen Garner visits the morgue, and goes cruising on a Russian ship. She sees women giving birth, and gets the sack for teaching her students about sex. She attends a school dance and a gun show.
She writes about dreaming, about turning 50 and the storm caused by The First Stone. Her story on the murder of the two-year-old Daniel Valerio wins her a Walkley Award.
Garner looks at the world with a shrewd and sympathetic eye. Her non-fiction, with its many voices, is always passionate and compelling. True Stories is an extraordinary audiobook, spanning 25 years of work, by one of Australia’s great writers.

Gawp-worthy
Garner is magnificent. Not one single superfluous word :) Gutsy, brave, unabashedly real. I could read her till the wildebeests come home to roost.

Wonderful, thoughtful, delightful.
Oh, how I enjoyed this book about humans, just
everyday people and everyday life told with such tenderness and at times raw honesty. Thanks Helen for a cracker.

Always raw and candid ….always entertaining
If you’re over the “hidden twists “ and “ surprising endings “ ….instead travel with Helen Garner as she unravels a very complicated but entertaining saga .

Truthful, Soulful 🤩
An honest, soul baring Aussie woman 's narrative that you can't put down. The philosophical approach, the character building, the story telling... Laughed so much, Thank You Helen!!! We need more of You.
