<b><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: small;">The character of Suzana is pure genius. She has more layers than an
onion. Patric uses a soft touch, gradually revealing the woman she is
now, the woman she was in Serbia and the (surprising) woman she was
before Jovan. Patric renders her ‘love’ (you’ll see what I mean) for
Jovan using a tender starkness that reflects a lamp back to each of us
and asks: who were you before now? Is that person still inside you? Can
you ever change, completely?</span></span></b><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> "I’ve wondered how to tell you about <i>Black Rock White City</i>,
the extraordinarily powerful debut novel by Melbourne writer AS Patric,
since the moment I finished it. It wouldn’t let me go, scenes and
moments crashing into things I was supposed to be doing, even shattering
my sleep. That makes it sound extreme, and it is: at times it’s
clawingly brutal.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">"But it’s also about the accommodations made by resilience and
resignation, so I want to talk, instead, about its profoundly intimate
explorations of life and love and humanity and grief and dreams.
Patric’s writing is clear and fierce and assured, and it throws you in
at the deep end."</span></b><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: small;">"Brutal and often confronting, <em>Black Rock White City</em> bursts with
an intensity that will shock and surprise readers. Part intimate
portrait of a flailing marriage, part literary thriller, it is a richly
textured exploration of the profound effect human conflict has on
individuals and the possibility of remaking one’s identity in the wake
of trauma. Full of strikingly beautiful and often horrific symbolic
imagery, there’s a sense of poetry thrumming through every page."</span></span></b><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">Short-story writer A S Patric’s first full-length offering is a slow-burning tale about a couple worn out by war but trying desperately to carve out a brighter future for themselves. At the heart of Patric’s novel is Jovan, a refugee from Sarajevo working shifts cleaning the wards of a suburban Melbourne hospital to provide for his beloved wife. Jovan’s new life is far from idyllic and the ignorance and racism he encounters in Australia are compounded by hidden tragedies and anguish from his past, which begin to surface when sinister and anonymous acts of graffiti crop up on the hospital walls. As well as being an excellent novel about racial prejudices, <i>Black Rock White City</i> explores the interaction between language and perception. For example, Jovan’s stilted English dialogue is juxtaposed with the lines of poetry he recites internally—the ‘tracks he can run his mind along’, which offer a connection to pleasures and pains of his former life in Sarajevo. Told with haunting simplicity, the eminently readable <i>Black Rock White City</i> joins Nam Le’s <i>The Boat</i> and Maxine Beneba Clarke’s <i>Foreign Soil</i> as a welcome addition to the canon of accessible stories from Australian authors about the immigrant experience.</span></b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I am delighted to announce I’ve found a publisher for
my first novel. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Black Rock White City</i> will be published by <a href="http://www.transitlounge.com.au/">Transit Lounge</a> in April 2015. I’m simply ecstatic to be
signing on again with the publisher of my 2012 collection of stories, <a href="http://aspatricink.blogspot.com.au/p/las-vegas-for-vegans.html"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Las Vegas for Vegans</i></a> — shortlisted for
the <a href="http://www.queenslandliteraryawards.com/australian-short-story---steele-rudd-award-shortlist.html">Steele Rudd Award</a> in the 2013 Queensland Literary Awards.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Black Rock White City</i> will be my fourth book
despite being my first novel. I published <a href="http://aspatricink.blogspot.com.au/p/movement-noise.html"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Rattler & other stories</i></a> with Spineless Wonders in 2011 and a novella
with Finlay Lloyd in 2013 called <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18502676-bruno-kramzer"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Bruno Kramzer</i></a>. I’ve been writing <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Black
Rock White City</i> over the last five years along with the stories that made
up my three previous books. I’m hoping that if you’ve enjoyed my stories you’ll look forward to reading my novel in the new year.</span></div>
