CRISABOE: This is what predictive text thinks you're typing if you type "Brisbane". Hometown readers, this is the poorly-thought-through affair to your One Book Many Brisbanes, your student magazines, and a national book culture which rarely gets the sunshine state at all. What do four-minute shower restrictions mean for a man who sweats grease? (That one's fiction.) Is it possible to visit all thirty-two council libraries in a day? (That one's not.) CRISABOE is a recurring reason to make good art from and about Brisrael City.
