When it was first published, thirty years ago, it was\u0026amp;nbsp;cruelly reviewed.\u0026amp;nbsp;'I feel sorry for my fourth-eldest, which of all my book-children\u0026amp;nbsp;was the most brutally treated in its early years,' Murnane writes in his foreword to\u0026amp;nbsp;this new edition. In hindsight it can be seen to contain some of his best writing, and\u0026amp;nbsp;to offer a wide-ranging exploration of the different landscapes which make up the\u0026amp;nbsp;imagination of this extraordinary Australian writer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive of the six loosely\u0026amp;nbsp;connected stories also trace a journey through the suburbs of Melbourne in the\u0026amp;nbsp;1960s, as the writer negotiates the conflicting demands of Catholicism and sex, self-consciousness\u0026amp;nbsp;and intimacy, alcohol and literature. The sixth story, 'The Battle of\u0026amp;nbsp;Acosta Nu', is remarkable for its depth of emotion, as it imagines a Paraguayan man\u0026amp;nbsp;imagining a country called Australia, while his son sickens and dies before his eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46867079331998,"sku":"ADS-9781925336115","price":32.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781925336115.jpg?v=1779429471","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781925336115","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
