“All of My Friends Died In Plane Crashes” is a collection of 17 urban Australian stories, several of which are based on the author’s childhood and youth in Sydney’s tough western suburbs of the 1960s and 70s. Most of the stories are “faction” (part fact, part fiction). Also included are a pair of historical stories: one set in legendary bushranger Ned Kelly’s jail cell on execution eve (1880), the other about the haunting and still unsolved Wanda Beach murders. "Plane Crashes" is dark, funny (sometimes both at once), and authentic. It also has an undercurrent of social commentary. New York Times bestselling author Lucia Berlin said: "Adrian Zupp writes like a house on fire."
