Two novels in one hardback gift volume. Oscar and Lucinda and True History of the Kelly Gang by twice Booker winner Peter Carey
A novel of extraordinary richness, complexity and strength … it
brings the past, in all its difference, bewilderingly into our
present. It fills me with a wild, savage envy and no novelist could
say fairer than that.
*Angela Carter*
There is no greater triumph than fiction which engages with life’s
tragedy and comedy both, and which acknowledges their
inseparability. Oscar and Lucinda accomplishes this. Full of ideas
– about religion, about nationhood, about individuality – it is
never burdened by them: it is always fixed in the material world,
in its endlessly surprising detail.
