"'As We Knew It' is a beautifully written work of autofiction. From an unnamed location during isolation, the narrator looks back on her youth in Florida and life in her adopted home city, Brisbane, in order to understand how she, and we, reached this moment. A delicate exploration of identity and solitude in a time of uncertainty."

As We Knew It by Siall Waterbright

QLA Judges' comments

​

"Siall Waterbright’s dispassionate vignettes amount to a cool appraisal that the unnamed woman cannot be there, wherever she is. Ironically the unseen woman’s infidelity is a poignant quest for visibility."

Douglas Leonard,

'fragility and responsibility'

RealTime Issue 83
