Condition: BRAND NEWISBN: 9781925603576Format: B-format paperbackYear: 2018Publisher: The Text Publishing CompanyPages: 272Description:In the dying town of Drylands, Janet Deakin s ells papers to lonely locals. At night, in her flat above the newsagency, she attempts to write a novel for a world in which no one reads - 'full of people, she envisaged, glaring at a screen that glared glassily back.' Drylands is the story of the townsfolk's harsh, violent lives. Trenchant and brilliant, Thea Astley's final novel is a dark portrait of outback Australia in decline. Show more
