An Anthology Of Australian Writers Of Colour

Experimental, genre-bending, lucid stories of the future from the inaugural LIMINAL Fiction Prize longlist.

What does the future hold? A tense dinner party is held amid an impending climate catastrophe. A father leases his backyard out to a cemetery. Activists plan an attack on ASIO drones in a shock-jock run government. A voyeur finds herself caught in time.

Featuring both emerging and established writers of colour, this collection showcases some of the best work that Australian literature has to offer.

These stories are sites for collisions — against eurocentric ideals, against narrow concepts of excellence, against stagnant ideas of the world to come. But collisions also manifest in the way our lives come into contact with others, how our pasts shift against the present, and how our imaginations sit against our realities.

Collisions is necessary reading for the future of fiction, and the future of our shared world.

About Amplify Bookstore

An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.

Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.

We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.

I loved how inclusive this space was, there were dyslexia friendly books and a space for books about queer love, a bit of something for everyone.
