I have memories of not remembering.
At forty-seven, Grace Heers arrives in Kings Cross with a single suitcase and a hunger for a life she hasn?t yet lived. She finds it - in the strip clubs and late-night cafés, the drag queens and spruikers, the sex workers and rough sleepers, the addicts and survivors, the good-time girls in lurex and high heels and the gay boys strutting Darlinghurst Road at midnight. She walks the streets at dawn and writes about what she sees. She can?t stop.
What she doesn?t see - not yet - is that the fractures running through the lives around her run through her own too. That the shame she recognises in other people?s eyes is something she knows from the inside.
Kings Cross gives her everything she came for. And then it gives her something she didn?t know she needed.
Darling Humans is a memoir about bearing witness - to a place, to the people who lived there, and finally, to yourself. It is about shame and mercy, about the sacred that lives in dark places, and about what it costs - and what it gives - to refuse to look away.
Mercy belongs to the dark places.
