    About this ebook

    Humming the familiar strains of Erik Satie's Gnossienne No.1 to himself, renowned film composer Jocelyn Thwaite steps in front of the 01.59 Paddington Express. As the only witness, Danny Lunt grabs the opportunity to live the life that the dead man no longer wants and that he always though he deserved -- if only he'd had the money. Told along the timeline preceding and following Jocelyn's death, The Price of Everything weaves the lives of these two men together and asks the age-old question: Is the grass really any greener...?

      Christos Tsiolkas: ‘I Don’t Understand Wanting To Live A Youthful Life Forever’

      Nov 3, 2023

      “It is in capturing the quotidian nature of a city that one finds its soul,” Christos Tsiolkas once wrote, and perhaps but for Helen Garner, no other author has captured life in Melbourne as truthfully. It feels oddly thrilling to meet the 58-year-ol
