Toads' Museum of Freaks and Wonders

Join us for the American release of Toads' Museum of Freaks and Wonders (published in Australia as The Paperbark Shoe), the award-winning novel by our favorite Australia-Chicago transplant, Goldie Goldbloom. In Toads' Museum,
Gin, an albino, marries to escape the confines of an asylum while Toad,
a little man who wears corsets, marries to prove his manhood. Together
they are feared and ridiculed in the remote farming community where
they live, until the arrival of two Italian POWs brings music,
sensuality and a love that fans the flames of small town bigotry.
