Liam Pieper: The Feel Good Hit Of The Year

Overview

If you’re the type of person who thinks of Sir Walter at the mention of grass, you might find it difficult to relate to Liam Pieper’s life. Born to bohemian parents who saw little harm in the occasional puff, Liam spent his early teen years with a fledging drug habit and as the local mule with aid of a trusty pushbike. Through his life he had highs – financial, chemical and otherwise – and dangerous lows, but now he’s managed to pen it all on paper, and ipso facto we have his Feel-Good Hit of The Year.

To show off this bound memoir - as anyone who writes a whole entire book deserves to – Liam will be trotting over to Avid Reader this Tuesday for a reading and chat. He’ll even be doing a signing after, so bring a copy of the book or buy one there.

For now though, do yourself a favour and get a taste for his work if you haven’t already. He has some stellar stuff in The Saturday Paper, Lifted Brow and Meanjin that will have your heart breaking, lips laughing, and literary intellect falling a little in love.
