MUP's new series ""Little Books on Big Themes"" pairs leading Australian thinkers and cultural figures with some of the big themes in life: rage, experience, longing and ecstasy. Each author's 10,000-word take on a chosen theme is presented as an eminently collectable hardback. In this vivid, biographical piece, provocative director Barrie Kosky returns to his childhood passions and his discovery of a stack of records that changed his life. He explores the feelings of intense joy and delight, as well as the power and terror that is ecstasy. Kosky is a compelling and entertaining storyteller.
