ORDINARY MATTER
Inspired by the twenty times women have won Nobel Prizes for science, this short-story collection from award-winning writer Laura Elvery is a thought-provoking follow-up to Trick of the Light.
Since 1901 women have been honoured with Nobel Prizes for their scientific research twenty times, including Marie Curie twice.
Spanning more than a century and ranging across the world, this inventive story collection is inspired by these women whose work has altered history and saved millions of lives.
From a transformative visit to the Grand Canyon to a baby washing up on a Queensland beach, a climate protest during a Paris heatwave to Stockholm on the eve of the 1977 Nobel Prize ceremony, these stories interrogate the nature of inspiration and discovery, motherhood and sacrifice, illness and legacy.
Story notes in back of the book encourage deeper reading - perfect for book clubs or education settings.
Laura Elvery's work has been published in Meanjin, Overland, The Big Issue fiction edition and Griffith Review. She has won the Josephine Ulrick Prize for Literature, the Margaret River Short Story Competition, the Neilma Sidney Short Story Prize, and the Overland Fair Australia short story prize. Laura has a PhD in Creative Writing. She lives in Brisbane.
