Friends and Dark Shapes has been shortlisted for the 2021 Queensland Literary Awards!
From the Judges’ comments: “A tale of coexistence, kinship, and grief. Bedford’s careful vignettes strike a skilled balance of refinement and depth. Exploring millennial life in a Redfern share house, Friends and Dark Shapes is a remarkable ethnographic fiction of what it means to be young, to live, and to have lost in Australia.”
