Michael’s older brother dies at the beginning of the summer he turns 15, but as its title suggestsThe Incredible Here and Now is a tale of wonder, not of tragedy. Presented as a series of vignettes, in the tradition of Sandra Cisneros’ Young Adult classic The House on Mango Street, it tells of Michael’s coming of age in a year which brings him grief and romance; and of the place he lives in Western Sydney where ‘those who don’t know any better drive through the neighbourhood and lock their car doors’, and those who do, flourish in its mix of cultures. Through his perceptions, the reader becomes familiar with Michael’s community and its surroundings, the unsettled life of his family, the girl he meets at the local pool, the friends that gather in the McDonalds parking lot at night, the white Pontiac Trans Am that lights up his life like a magical talisman.

WHO SAID CARS ARE JUST FOR BOYS? features a little girl named Amy who grows up with a fascination for cars. She loves going to the auto parts store and car shows with her dad and dreams of the day when she can drive (but for now is settling for riding her Big Wheel bike down her driveway). She’s initially ridiculed by the other kids for having this passion, but with the support of her parents and her good friend Max, she gets the girls in her class curious about playing with and detailing model cars, and interested in learning about mechanics and horsepower. Through perseverance Amy grows her “recess car group” of girls and, in a twist, eventually wins over Beth, the lone hold-out at school, to join their club.

Earlier this year Aperture published a deluxe edition of Car Girls, limited to 1,500 copies. By popular demand, we are pleased to issue this instant classic in a handy, adorable travel-size. Initially created at the request of one of the biggest European car show exhibitors, this mini-edition is now available to the general public. Car Girls is the culmination of a unique project created over a five-year period. Jacqueline Hassink, who has received critical acclaim for her books and exhibitions, traveled to three different continents and attended seven car shows to capture the work of the women employed to embody the corporate identities of international auto companies. As she describes it, she has used these sites to reflect on differing cultural values with regard to their ideal images of beauty and women. Most crucially, Car Girls is a document of what may have been the last gasp of extravagance from an industry in crisis. Both editions were designed by the award-winning Irma Boom.
