Reviews
Carol Middleton in Overland was impressed by the stories: "Lohrey has a remarkable ability to be lyrical and profound while keeping both feet in the here and now of Australian life. For a ‘literary’ writer, she is refreshingly comfortable with the mundane minutiae of modern life (to-do lists and washing up) and, from there, teases out the themes and issues that lie beneath the surface of contemporary consciousness."[1]

gollark: A few $ per hour, or something, outside of the free things.
gollark: It's not *that* production since nobody uses my software very much, but still.
gollark: I mean things like semantic search and text generation in my eternally-WIP personal wiki software.(Which isn't researchy, has to work for more than a month, and should not have data be sent to random Google servers)
gollark: I'm interested in deploying MLish things for various "production" things which don't really come under research, and so that doesn't really work.
