The Melbourne Mixtape is a collection of memoirs, musings and more poetic stories I've written over many years.  I will be adding memoirs to this book as chapter instalments week by week.  The initial chapter features humour and satirical elements, as it deals with getting older from a male perspective.  Subsequent chapters will probably be more melancholy.  My stories in a general sense are often more creative nonfiction or literary nonfiction in style with content suitable for mature readers.    

Themes: hiphop, drug use, lost loves, lost friendships, family, race, religion, all of which will be framed from an Australian perspective, specifically Melbourne.

At this point, I could add as many as 10-15 memoirs over the next few months.  Their lengths will vary and I will be editing them as I go, so they are subject to change.  I apologise for the quality of some of the work as I'm kind of just writing them here in the app and then posting them as I go. 

If anybody is to read them please feel free to comment and critique as much or as little as you like.  And hopefully I can earn some votes along the way.
