Their Brilliant Careers The Fantastic Lives of Sixteen Extraordinary 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...
