A walk, an excursion, an essay, an exorcism
Talking it out with the dog. We know that love is work.
Stephanie Radok has been collecting words and ideas in notebooks forever. She thinks that they might save her life, or someone else's.
Drawing together emotions and memories, quotations, food and books, Under the Bed: Inventories 2020–2022 takes the reader inside a wandering restorative place of reverie.
Grounded in the everyday when Covid loomed over the globe, and accompanied by the author's expressive drypoint etchings, Under the Bed fills that common place of isolation with humanity and humour, resilience and calm.
'Here is precision, economy, wisdom and grace. A simply glorious book.' - Michelle de Kretser
