Axiomatic by Maria Tumarkin

5.0

[4.5] To be axiomatic is to be self-evident, or taken to be true on it’s logic. In this light, Tumarkin has provided an axiomatically agonising but insightful collection of stories.

Having the Australian-specific context makes it all the more visual, and unfortunately all the more harrowing, especially with a lot of the stories hitting personal and professional soft spots.

In light of its overshadowing gloom though, it speaks of great resilience in hard times and provides an avenue of introspection and re-evaluation.
