About the book

Axiomatic by Maria Tumarkin is an essay collection for adult readers.

From the winner of the Windham Campbell Prize Winner of the Melbourne Prize for Literature's Best Writing Award Shortlisted for the 2019 Stella Prize Shortlisted for the Douglas Stewart Prize for Non-Fiction in the 2019 NSW Premier's Literary Awards Longlisted for the 2019 Indie Book Awards for Non-Fiction.

The past shapes the present-they teach us that in schools and universities. (Shapes? Infiltrates, more like; imbues, infuses.) This past cannot be visited like an ageing aunt. It doesn't live in little zoo enclosures. Half the time, this past is nothing less than the beating heart of the present. So, how to speak of the searing, unpindownable power that the past-ours, our family's, our culture's-wields in the present? Stories are not enough, even though they are essential.
