Really enjoying The Fern Tattoo written by David Brooks. The writing is beautiful, althought it contains some very long, multiple-claused sentences that are a bit of a challenge! The book is about outcasts and story-telling - it describes the process of story-telling, the mixing of truths and unreliable memories, grades of truth, half-truths and downright lies. And the stories are mostly about outcast characters.
Mr Brooks is Associate Professor of Australian Literature at the University of Sydney. Quite the dude of Aussie writing, I reckon.
