This is the Angus & Roberston Australian Classic series reprint of David Ireland's award winning 1971 novel. The story centres on an oil refinery in Sydney.
"There had been nothing like it in Australian literature before, and the only thing like it since was Ireland’s second great proletarian fiction, The Glass Canoe (1976)". (Peter Pierce introduction in the 2013 reprint published by Text Publishing).
