Book Club From HellThe Everlasting w/ Lewis WoolstonThe Everlasting is an excellent short story collection by Australia's favourite son, Lewis Woolston. Many of these stories are inspired by his upbringing among Jehovah's Witnesses in Western Australia, addiction, working bad jobs to stave off poverty, and, despite everything, having the fortitude to find a place of stability. This is Lewis' second time on the show - if you want to hear more from him, we did a previous episode where we talked about another of his short story collections, Remembering the Dead.Find Lewis' books here (including The Everlasting): https://bequempublishing.com/authors/authors-w-z/lewis-woolston/
