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.

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.
