No Road: Bitumen All the Way by Stephen Muecke

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges, with all corners now protected with book tape. Pages are sunned.

On a trip north, Gloria Brennan, an Aboriginal activist, meets a bloke who tries to entice her to visit his community. But she wants to know if the road out there is any good. He's puzzled. 'Road? No road,' he says '... no road ... bitumen aaall the way.'.

No Road is a seductive mix of storytelling and ideas, and a personal account of travels in outback Australia, Europe, Africa ... and suburban Newtown. Irony and humour invert the usual expectations of a travel book; nobody seems to be going anywhere.
