Comedian Tim \u2018Rosso\u2019 Ross draws inspiration from his acclaimed ABC television series Streets Of Your Town with this selection of short stories from the suburbs.<\/p>\n

From the beachside holiday house to the backyard pool and the rumpus room, the architecture of the suburbs forms the backdrop to a uniquely Australian way of life. Ross roams through these familiar places to paint a picture of Australian domesticity and its relationship to the Australian psyche in all its funny, nostalgic, ironic and often acutely cringe-worthy glory.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you ever tried to pinch a sip of Mum\u2019s West Coast Cooler or thought that no culinary master would ever match the delights of the Margaret Fulton cookbook, you\u2019ll love whiling away the afternoon in The Rumpus Room. NB. Bring a plate\u201d
\nRussell Jackson, The Guardian.<\/p>\n

\u201cTim understands the Australian psyche in a way few of his contemporaries do\u201d
