Description

From the image of a small boy entranced by his mother’s GI Escort, yet still hoping for the return of a father ‘missing in action’, to the portrait of an adult writer trying to piece together a defining image of his late father, these outstanding stories conjure up with sharp intensity the memories and events that make a man. These powerfully vivid stories range over more than a century of Australian life, from green tropical lushness to ‘blacksoil country’, from scrub and outback to city streets – evoking dark shadows beneath a bright sun, and lives shaped by the ghosts of history and the rhythms of unruly nature.

Remarkable for its range and unsettling dynamism…in their subtlety, power and poetic finesse they are as good as any being written

A highly accomplished collection, and one that resonates in the mind long after the book is finished
