SOFT SERVE
A Novel
A gem of a debut novel by award-winning playwright George Kemp, about small-town lives and the search for genuine sustenance in a fast-food world.
Stuck in a regional McDonald's, as bushfires close in, three twenty-somethings and their dead friend's mum all face a reckoning. Fern longs for Ethan, Ethan longs for Jacob, and Jacob struggles to long for anything. Meanwhile, Pat just wants her grief to ease up.
Soft Serve proves that small-town lives are huge, and that anyone can get stuck in limbo between their past and their hoped-for future. From celebrated playwright and actor George Kemp comes this charming and poignant novel: it's drive-thru Chekhov, and full of heart.
GEORGE KEMP is an emerging writer based on Gadigal land in Sydney. He won the Australian Theatre for Young People Foundation Commission Award in 2020 for his play Shack (published by Playlab). He is currently a resident artist at the Australian Theatre for Young People, and in 2023 was a playwright mentor at the organisation's flagship writing program, National Studio.
