While there have been many great Australian novels, Andrew Pippos's The Transformations stands above them as a rich and complex tour de force that succeeds on so many levels.

Mark Rubbo, Readings Chairman

Set during the dying days of Australia's print journalism era, The Transformations is the story of a world-weary subeditor with a painful past whose carefully managed world begins to unravel.

Full of wit and emotional complexity, The Transformations is a novel about grief, guilt, change, and the chance of new beginnings.
