The Haircut of a More Successful Man: A short story

Sometimes a man just needs a haircut. Sometimes a man needs a shampoo, too. And sometimes, a man needs something more, something more elaborate, something that includes a haircut and a shampoo but also the lithe fingers and gentle voice of being well cared for and groomed.

"What all of these tales have in common is masterfully crafted prose, dry but sympathetic observation and an engrossing allusion to a larger, unseen world." - Sydney Morning Herald on Nick Earls' short fiction
