Buchbeschreibung Zustand: Near Fine. In this mesmerizing study of the effects of a dark secret on the people who must live with it, the author of Charades proves herself a magician with w ords and narrative structure. Moreover, she seems to have an artificer's sk ill for re-creating her fictional approach each time out: each of her novel s is different from the others in theme, tone and method. The constants are her impeccable, sensuous prose and her fiercely intelligent imagination. S et in the rain forest near Brisbane and in the city of Sydney, in Hospital' s native Australia, the narrative slowly unwinds in elliptical scenes and o blique references, like photos in which the subject is blurred but discerni ble, and will gradually come into focus. The "last magician" is Charlie Cha ng, a photographer and filmmaker who devotes himself to unraveling the puzz le at the heart of this tale. Twenty-five years ago, he was one of four chi ldren who witnessed the death of a fifth. One of them caused the event; bla ndly amoral, narcissistic and seemingly without guilt, Robinson Gray is now a famous judge, "Australia's golden boy." Charlie and the others--one woma n named Catherine and another named Cat--remain emotionally maimed. The jud ge's son and the woman who loves him become catalysts in reopening the dram a and are sucked into the whirlpool of evil it again sets in motion. Hospit al enriches her story with allusions ranging from Virgil and Dante to James Joyce and Christina Stead. She offers crackling social commentary as she c ontrasts the lives of the homeless squatters (who live underneath Sydney's streets in a warren of caverns and tunnels called "the quarry") with the cr.

Buchbeschreibung Softcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: No Dust Jacket. Reprint. 352 pp. Cat, Charlie, Robbie and Catherine once shared a childhood summer in a Queensland rainforest. But a death intruded on the charmed circle, binding them to complicity and silence. Decades later the past continues to fester. Memories leached through to the present, in the same way as the desperate underside of a corrupt Sydney breaks through into tidy lives and well-kept streets. Charlie, the Chinese-Australian photographer, is the last magician. It is he who monitors and records everything, who seeks the silent Cat through physical and emotional infernos. With its startling and seamless conjunctions of the erudite and demotic, this dazzling novel is richly textured and intellectually challenging, a tour de force from our most elegantly seductive writer. -- front fold over blurb This is the 1st Soft cover Edition.
