Real Stories: Ethics and Narrative in Helen Garner's 'Joe Cinque's' Consolation

Seven blank pages end Helen Garner's latest non-fiction work Joe Cinque's Consolation. They follow a passport-size black-and-white photo of Joe Cinque, the twenty-six-year old Canberra engineer who was drugged before being given a lethal injection of heroin by his twenty-five-year-old law student girl friend, Anu Singh in 1997.
