An Exciting and Vivid Inner Life is the highly anticipated debut short story collection from Melbourne writer Paul Dalla Rosa. A razor-sharp collection for our disaffected times, these stories explore the beautiful and ugly, dark and funny, tender and vicious contradictions of life in late-stage capitalism. An Exciting and Vivid Inner Life has been chosen as the first book for Melbourne City Reads in 2022, an initiative supported by inner-city bookshops. Dalla Rosa will join host Abigail Ulman to discuss An Exciting and Vivid Inner Life and its depiction of precarity and the absurdities of our increasing alienation.
