In Car Lovers, twelve of Australias leading writers celebrate our fascination with metal, speed and power, exploring the links between cars and sex, cars and identity and cars and memory, and showing how cars have shaped and influenced our lives. This collection of frank, funny, moving and candid stories from award-winning writers such as Peter Carey, Peter Goldsworthy, Angelo Loukakis and Julienne van Loon is a must-read for anyone who loves cars or has loved in cars!"--Provided by publisher.
