The genesis of Trent Dalton’s Love Stories was a blue Olivetti typewriter and a street corner in the Brisbane CBD. After inheriting the typewriter from the mother of a friend, Trent took to the streets and solicited real stories from passers-by: “Sentimental writer collecting love stories. Do you have one to share?” The result is a warm, poignant, funny and deeply humane book that weaves the many stories that were shared about love in all its guises with generous memories of Trent’s own special moments.

Trent Dalton’s bestselling Boy Swallows Universe broke records to become the fastest selling Australian debut novel ever, winning many major Australian literary prizes including a record-breaking four ABIA Awards. His second novel, All Our Shimmering Skies, was also an award-winning bestseller. His most recent book is the non-fiction collection Love Stories.
