"In this novel, an aspiring writer navigates unstable relationships during the early days of the Australian punk scene in the early 1980s. Skilbeck, the author of Australian Fugue: The Antipode Room (2015) organises the story of Roxanne "Roxy" Bergson around her romantic interactions with two men. Northern Irish Roxy, who was living in Japan, arrives for college in Adelaide with Samuel, her partner of four years - a man with whom, in her estimation , she was "supposed to have split up" weeks before....Roxy's story is sure to inspire readers to recall their own youthful rebellions, and not just because of its accounts of wild antics but also because of its poeticism... A sensitive and convincing account of Australian youth culture." -Kirkus Reviews, Vol. XC, No. 1, 1 January 2022, p. 143. Review Posted Online: Nov. 11, 2021. https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/ruth-skilbeck/sayonara-baby/ When Roxy moves to Adelaide to go to university in 1981 she becomes caught up in the intense performance art scene. Her relationships play out against a backdrop of contrasts: the brilliant light of the Bay, shadowed by menace stalking the streets, and lonely long distance roads. This new edition has the addition of the poem 'Slugs' by the author, first published in 1980 in LiNQ (Literature in North Queensland). Includes one black and white illustration, a photographic artwork. "A sensitive and convincing account of Australian youth culture"-Kirkus Reviews
