Murnane
About this book
Gerald Murnane is one of Australia's most celebrated authors whose experimental and deeply idiosyncratic style has attracted rave reviews, including profiles in The New Yorker and The New York Times. Murnane's writing combines fiction with autobiography and returns obsessively to his particular and uncommon interests: horse-racing, marbles, stained glass, Catholic iconography, hermetic writers, and the Australian landscape. His fiction offers a window into what it means to be human, and how books and reading shape our self-understanding. Murnane examines the writer's recent work to explain both its significance to Australian literature and provide readers with a deeper understanding of his complex and self-referential fiction.
