The Rest is Weight

A GIRL SEARCHES for her lost grandmother while her parents quarrel at home; a young architect finds herself entangled by a strange commission; a man contemplates inertia after toxic fallout changes life in a remote Australian town; a woman imagines a mother's love for her autistic son.

The award-winning stories in The Rest is Weight reflect Jennifer Mills' years in Central Australia, as well as her travels to Mexico, Russia and China. Sometimes dreamy and hypnotic, sometimes dark, comic and wry, Mills weaves themes of longing, alienation, delusion, resilience, and love. Collected or on their own, these stories are both a joy and a wonder to read.

"A writer of extraordinary range and imagination." - Cate Kennedy
