Oslo Davis responds to A Couple of Things Before the End
Beloved Melbourne artist, Oslo Davis, created these artworks in response to Sean O’Beirne’s bitingly funny short-story collection A Couple of Things Before the End.
Outstandingly original, sharply satirical and written in a remarkable range of voices, A Couple of Things Before the End is a powerful vision of where we are – and where we may be headed. Here, Oslo Davis imagines some of the collection’s key scenes in his trademark fashion.
