Journalist Anthony Fennell has landed an unusual freelance gig: to write about the ships that go out to sea to repair fibre-optic cables laid deep under the ocean.

Feature image credit: NewSouth BooksThe seemingly simple English word ‘shift’ has myriad definitions: to move house; to change your position or direction; to change your opinion; to get rid of something unwanted; and several more.

Shift tells the story of Arlie, a 30-something, reasonably successful (but basically broke) photographic artist.
