Description
Five of the six stories in Landscape with Landscape trace a suburban journey in the 1960s, as the writer negotiates the conflicting demands of Catholicism and sex, self-consciousness and intimacy, alcohol and literature. In the sixth story a Paraguayan man imagines a country called Australia, while his son sickens before his eyes.
'Murnane is unlike anyone else, the sort of writer who demands to be read in a new way but, above all, demands to be read.' Brian Evenson, Chicago Review of Books
'The emotional conviction . . . is so intense, the sombre lyricism so moving, the intelligence behind the chiselled sentences so undeniable, that we suspend all disbelief.' J. M. Coetzee
First UK publication of Nobel Prize candidate Murnane's masterful first short story collection.
