Shortlisted for the Gratiaen Prize-2017
‘A House Down the Queer Street is the story of two families whose lives are linked by an intricate web of kin ties, obligations and expectations; some having to do with gender, some having to do with class which leads to an ending-or endings-which few readers would predict.
Its strength lie in the deft deployment of the realistic mode narration, to convey in slow, measured prose, a strong sense of time and place and skillful characterization.’ -Jury, The Gratiaen prize, 2017
