Shortlisted for the 2021 Queensland Literary AwardsA group of housemates in Sydneys inner city contend with gentrification, divisive politics, stalled careers, their own complicated privilege as secondgeneration Australians, and the evolving world of dating in this moving, funny, and stylish debut novel.Sydneys inner city is very much its own place, yet also a stand in for gentrifying innercity suburbs the world over. Here, four young housemates struggle to untangle their complicated relationships while a poignant story of loss, grieving, and recovery unfolds.The nameless narrator of this story has recently lost her father and now her existence is split in two: she conjures the past in which he was alive and yet lives in the present, where he is not. To others, she appears to have it all together, but the grief she still feels creates an insurmountable barrier between herself and others, between the life she had and the one she leads.Wry, relatable, lyrical, and beautifully told, a book about politics, desire, youth, relationships and friends, Friends and Dark Shapes introduces a bold new Australian voice to American readers.Astonishingly assured and full of razor sharp observations about what it means to live precariously in a changing city. Its hard to believe this is Bedfords first novel.Jenny Offill, author of Dept. of Speculation and Weather
