Easy : a novella

Western Sydney University thesis: Master's thesis

Abstract

Tony is a car thief reliant on loyalty so that he may flourish. Allegiances, on Tony's map, are not fixed sites. He believes that schisms within the everyday occur mainly by design and are imposed on him. As these breaches are not necessarily within Tony's control, he adjusts their details according to his (perverse perception of ) need; to maintain/establish a semblance of identity/ control. To accomodate Tony's rhizomatic movements, his dependence on memory wavers between a reliable recalling of past anecdotes and his awesome and playful fulfillment within the moment. But his 'wonders' are manifested at the expense of those within his borders. Actions which, ultimately, contribute to Tony's entombment within an aspect of his physical identity
