Olivia De Zilva's Plastic Budgie is officially launched by Matthew Hooton (author of Everything Lost, Everything Found) at the NO WAVE reading series. This event will be opened by poet Stephanie Mylan. 

Praise for Plastic Budgie:

‘A searching and companionable coming-of-age story that combines vulnerability and restraint, directness and discretion. Olivia De Zilva writes about loneliness and disruption with great humour and sensitivity‘ – Shannon Burns, author of Childhood

'Some readers of Plastic Budgie may miss the cohesion of earlier waves of creative non-fiction; others may be heartened that Asian-diasporic experience has moved sufficiently towards the centre that attention can now be focussed on questions of self-representation and the implications of how we tell a story.‘ – Fernanda Dahlstrom, Mascara Literary Review
