Selected Stories by Frank Moorehouse

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Dust jacket has light creasing at edges and spine. Small tear to spine top is now protected with book tape. Interior and binding are still excellent.

These 23 stories, selected by the author from his first three books, Futility and Other Animals, The Americans, Baby and the Electrical Experience, can be appreciated either individually or as links in a discontinuous narrative - the technique of which Frank Moorhouse is the acknowledged master.

Written between 1964 and 1974, in Moorhouse's late 20s and early 30s, they span, in a breathtaking sweep, the vast distances between the uncertainties of life in Sydney's bohemian intelligentsia and the apparent certainties of life in country-town Australia.

Stories include the Coca-Cola Kid, the Story of the Knife, the first, second and third stories of nature, Walking Out.

Part of the Australian Classics series.
