From the Gulf to the Garden

Finished the truly wonderful Carpentaria today. Alexis Wright is an indigenous writer, whose storytelling is described as "operatic and surreal: a blend of myth and scripture, politics and farce". I also like how Nicholas Jose, from the Sydney Morning Herald, describes the book: "The history she deals with is huge and terrible, but it energises her in an almost loving way."

Now to The Garden Book!
