Expo is to Brisbane what Johnny is to Baby, what Scarlett is to Rhett, what Ellen is to Portia: one of the world’s greatest love affairs.

Relive the magic—the ejaculating Night Companion, the sensual shaft of the monorail, the tactile delights of the New Zealand Pavilion—in Expo 88: We’ll Show the World, the thrilling tome by Valkyrie Cul-de-Sac’s alter ego Jackie Ryan, and then bring it to a magnificent climax by voting for it in this year’s Courier-Mail People’s Choice Queensland Book of the Year Award.

Update: Expo 88: We’ll Show the World won two Queensland Literary Awards on 23 October 2018: the Queensland Premier’s Award for a Work of State Significance and the USQ History Book Award. It shortlisted in the Courier-Mail People’s Choice Queensland Book of the Year Award. Valkyrie’s alter ego also received a 2019 Queensland Writers Fellowship.
