Dr Joshua Lobb publishes new novel
Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing, Dr Joshua Lobb, has published a new novel with Sydney University Press.
The Flight of Birds is a novel in twelve stories, each of them compelled by an encounter between the human and animal worlds. The birds in these stories inhabit the same space as humans, but they are also apart, gliding above us. The Flight of Birds explores what happens when the two worlds meet.
