Description
xDefying conventional ideas of fiction, this novel is a hypnotic meditation on memory and reading from Australia's greatest living visionary, Aussie's backlands Proust.
The major work of fiction in this collection, 'A History of Books', explores the relationship between reading and writing in twenty-nine sections, each of which begins with the memory of a book that has left an image in the writer's mind. The memory of the books themselves might have faded, but the images remain in their clarity and import--scenes of discord and madness, a stern-faced man, a young woman on a swing, a glass of beer and rays of sunlight, mountain and woodland and horizon--images which together embody the anxieties and aspirations of a writing life, and its indebtedness to what has been written and read.
