This short story is best defined as an experimental creative nonfiction/memoir piece, which spans many years of the narrator's life. The timeline flips between the 90s, early 00s, and contemporary contexts. The narrative explores the memories people won't let themselves escape, whether due to trauma, or a sense of guilt and regret. The writing style and voice presented has been influenced by 90s hip-hop culture, which permeated suburban Melbourne, Australia. Thematically, this memoir deals with friendship, loss, drugs, religion, and race, as experienced in suburban Melbourne. The author seeks to position "memory" as something fallible, representing only part of a fractured truth, a perspective easily blurred and potentially altered over decades of remembering and re-remembering, over and again. This book would be a great read for young adults and older people due to its content. However, it would also be highly enjoyable for anybody interested in memoirs, life writing, and writers who seek to present a narrative voice outside the box.
