if this is the end

A fearless and honest exploration of queer First Nations identity, and a vibrant celebration of imperfection and personal growth, if this is the end is a stunning exploration of what it means to work through childhood trauma and love yourself in the present.

In a state of post-pandemic recovery, the author travels back to his hometown and grapples with all that comes with it, experiences the thrills of relationship drama and serious queer romance, works through his mental health issues and writes a love letter to Naarm from the perspective of a Kimberley man.

'Tender and alive, Bebe Oliver returns with a second collection full of love, honesty and strength...Immediately a queer Blak classic.' Ellen Van Neerven
