PETER CAREY signs
His Illegal Self
(Knopf, $24.95)
|
Booklist said: "A psychologically astute and diabolically suspenseful novel... Carey has a gift for bringing to creepy-crawly and blistering life Australia’s jungle and desert wilds. His latest spectacularly involving and supremely well made novel of life on the edge begins in New York [and] ends up in Australia... Carey’s unique take on the conflict between the need to belong and the dream of freedom during the days of rage over the Vietnam War is at once terrifying and mythic." And Kirkus said: "This isn't the first fictional work to explore the militant radical underground of the late 1960s and early '70s, but it may well be the best. What freshens the familiar material is the child's-eye perspective with which Carey begins the story... Carey's mastery of toneand command of point of view are very much in evidence in his latest novel, which is less concerned with period-piece politics than with the essence of identity." | |
