Neil Boyack created a frenzy for Australian grunge literature when he published Black in 1995.
It was amazing because Black was self published. I remember seeing Neil on TV talking about self publishing his book and I remember thinking that anything was possible. He was very fierce about his craft. It was very inspiring for me.
Everyone was speaking in an American accent back then at spoken word and open-mike nights and I remember Neil because he spoke in his own voice.
