This is, without a doubt, the best book about a used piece of chewing gum that you will ever read . It’s also a lovely memoir that touches on superstition, creativity, the collection of ephemera and so much more. Very glad to have borrowed a copy of the hardcover from a friend, it wouldn’t have worked nearly as well on the Kindle.

A brilliant ode to the creative drive and honouring the steps you take along the way. Such a wonder to see Ballarat’s best export: Warren Ellis, riffing about life in some (dis?)organised & chaotic yet beautiful way.

I read it and bought a violin the next day.

Part memoir, part celebration of the divine in the mundane, this was just an absolute delight
