Book Synopsis


Trade Review
Mol's offbeat prose has a one-man performance quality to it . . . If Train Lord were a train, it would be a heritage line, an intimate preservation of a moment in time, full of personality * The Times *
As much about the art, craft and alchemy of storytelling as it is about healing * Heromag *
Rude, raw, visceral, painful and wildly funny * Saga Magazine *
A highly intimate and emotional consideration of the relationship between pain, life, and the methods we use to escape both * Adelaide Fringe *
Mol's writing is a revelation. Nuanced, at times dryly satirical or melancholy, it is always rich, poetic and intoxicating * Bakehouse Studio *
Like his alt-lit forebears, Oliver Mol's writing can often feel like alchemy, constructing brief, glimmering moments of catharsis from the meandering absurdities of life * Guardian, 'Best Australian Books of 2022' *
Entertaining, moving and vivid... its playfulness is irrepressible * The Conversation *
