Synopsis

Revolutionary Baby is a collection of short stories about ordinary people caught in the revolutions of the twentieth century. The clash between new social movements and old values drives them on. Choices must be made. Power dynamics, gender identities and social expectations lead to uncertainty and confusion. Self-sabotage, isolation and loneliness erupt but still there’s hope and sometimes love. In Sydney, London, Berlin, and Bangkok everything keeps on changing. Funny, sad, surprising, these are stories about the possibilities of new life as the twentieth century fades into history.

• Andrea, a pregnant feminist, defies her husband and gives birth at a chaotic anti-Vietnam War rally while he is drinking with a new mate at the seaside. He thought he might leave her but now his fate is sealed.
• A bachelor farmer rejects a possible bride when he discovers her alarming secret.
• A short man seeks to grow taller but encounters a life-altering situation that no one, least of all him, could have expected.
• On a rural commune an exile from the Party ponders his political legacy but never dreams that his children will take his life’s work to the tip.
• Thousands throng the streets of Bangkok, hoping for a revolution but settling for 30% democracy.
• Louisa, a wealthy Sydney widow, longs for a new man and decides she needs cosmetic surgery in Thailand. A random act of violence leads to a surprising new way of life.
