CloseA 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 Narrm from the perspective of a Kimberley man.
"Oliver’s work masterfully embraces complexity, weaving together deeply personal reflections and broader cultural narratives...An unforgettable tribute to resilience, imperfection, and the beauty of embracing one’s whole self."
– Jess Checkland, Writing WA
"An amazing portrayal of expressive therapeutic poetry. Bebe is able to carry the audience so delicately along a powerful journey. As a non-Indigenous Australian, the way Bebe spoke about Country was really magical. The whole book was magical. I want to read it again and again and again."
– Jazz Frost, author of Ambiguity
