Broken Rules and Other Stories | May 2020, Transit Lounge

The new year has got off to a cracking start with news of Barry’s short-story collection coming out in May:

Barry Lee Thompson

Broken Rules and Other Stories is my first collection of fiction. It’s being published in May by Transit Lounge.

The collection is included in The Sydney Morning Herald feature ‘The books to read in 2020’.


From derelict industrial districts, to a lonely highway diner, to the faded charm of a British seaside resort, these are stories of growing up marginalised and living in working-class England and Australia.

Supported by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria, and developed with the support of a Fellowship from Varuna, the National Writers’ House.
