A collection of personal essays and writing from David Malouf to celebrate his 80th birthday. Topography, geography, history. Multiculturalism, referendums, the constitution and national occasions. Parental and grandparental romances, the sensual and bountiful beauty of Brisbane, the mysterious offerings of Queenslander houses, and leaving home. The idea of a nation and the heart of its people. Being Australian and Australia's relationship to the world. Putting ourselves on the map. All these subjects, and more, are explored from the generous, questioning and original perspective of David Malouf. At the heart of these pieces is the idea of home, where and what it is. What they illustrate is the formation of a man, an Australian and one of the best writers this country has produced. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Still, Malouf's writing on Australian history is fascinating and his personal reflections of the 1940s, 50s and 60s (particularly on the Brisbane of this era) are wonderful. There's a lot to enjoy here, but if you're anything like me, you'll find yourself dipping in and out rather than being entirely swept along. ( )
