Astrid Reinhart is a stand-in therapist seriously out of her depth. Martin Finn, a successful novelist whose stroke has left him with the rare ‘locked-in syndrome’, wants Astrid to help him write his story — one letter at a time.
Featuring stories previously published in Meanjin, Island, and Overland magazines, Here Today is an affecting and sometimes comic reflection on life with an unexpected twist in its tail. Like the stories of its characters, Here Today is a novel that demands to be heard.
‘Simon Groth is a unique voice on the literary scene. While others rely on being shock-jocks or sticking with light and frothy, Simon is a dedicated storyteller whose narratives are always true but never ordinary. His characters have the fallibility of real life and his stories are crafted to provide the reader with the joy of the unexpected. And through it all runs a vein of compassion that is never maudlin yet has the power to move.’
Sue Gough
