Zig Zag Street
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ZigZag Street is a 1996 novel written by Australian writer Nick Earls. It was Earl's second novel and won the Betty Trask Award in 1998, which it shared with Kiran Desai's Hullaballoo in the Guava Orchard. It has been compared with the work of Nick Hornby.[1]
It was adapted for the stage by Philip Dean in 2004, playing at the La Boite Theatre[2] before touring other cities.
In Review called it part of "Brisbane’s Holy Trinity of Gen X Lit:... more of a sad-boy novel, eagerly related to by whiney lawyers."[3]
