Frictions is a classic. Frictions is writing that is risky and exhilarating. In its third edition, Frictions shows where the writing of now started. With work by Elizabeth Jolley and Finola Moorhead, Andrea Goldsmith and Ania Walwicz, this anthology brought a fresh generation of writers to the world. A passionate and witty anthology that is an adventure for any reader.

Edited by Anna Gibbs, academic and critic, and Alison Tilson, scriptwriter of movies, Japanese Story and The Road to Nhill.

‘Frictions marks the distance Australian women have travelled as writers … Most of the fictions are daring, exploratory and assertive. The best of them are skilled and knowing, dancing with language.’
