<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Jay, the restless wanderer, rocks the lives of two strangers by introducing them to the strange world he has stumbled across-the streets of Melbourne. Rick, the bookworm, is torn away from his mundane academic life. Johnny, the paranoid poet, is released from his small-town worries. </p><p><br></p><p>When they hit the streets together, twisted tales rise from the gutters. <em>The bathing man. The cardboard preacher. The mute who isn't a mute.</em> The trio cast aside everything they know, embarking on a journey to meet the city's neglected souls. </p><p><br></p><p><em>There's a Tale to This City</em> is an offbeat portrait of Melbourne that combines poetry, narrative prose and toilet paper diary entries, recollecting the strange experiences of three writers, who came together to learn the art of listening. </p>
