Their Brilliant Careers: Lives of Sixteen Australian Writers by Ryan O'Neill

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.

Ryan O'Neill has written a hilarious novel in the guise of sixteen biographies of (invented) Australian writers.

This book is a playful set of stories linked in many ways, forming a memorable whole. Meet Rachel Deverall, who unearthed the secret source of the great literature of our time and paid a terrible price for her discovery. Meet Rand Washington, hugely popular sci-fi author (of Whiteman of Cor) and inveterate racist. Meet Addison Tiller, master of the bush yarn, "The Chekhov of Coolabah", who never travelled outside Sydney.

Absurd, original and highly addictive...
