Fascinated by humanity's deliberate blind spots, Beth Hill's passion as an anthropologist and writer is to explore and understand the places and people we leave behind in our quest for shiny new futures. From the no-man's land between the fashionable now and the romaticised past, Beth's writing is as much an exploration of our relationship to time and space as it is an archeology of intriguing character and place. Growing up in the inner west of Sydney, a short bike ride from Parramatta Road, Beth has witnessed first-hand the mythic and mysterious places of her childhood slowly disappear. Her writing is not an act of resistance, but of remembering. Beth studied creative writing at the University of Technology Sydney, completing her degree in Communications in 2009. Her writing has previously been published in the prestigious UTS Writers Anthology and the literary magazine Seizure. This is her first book.
