"'Here was a very-much-alive half-Lebanese writer (from provincial Brisbane, no less) producing English-language writing of the very first order. The poetry was in the prose; it stayed and sprung its rhythms, chorded its ideas, concentrated its images.
Every other novel claims to be written in "poetic prose"; the real thing, when you come across it, is actually shocking.' Nam Le takes the reader on a thrilling intellectual ride in this sharp, bold essay. Encompassing identity politics, metaphysics, the relationship between life and art, and the 'Australianness' of Malouf's work, it is unlike anything else written about one of Australia's most acclaimed writers."--Dust jacket.
