Description
If you are not a citizen of Voorstand, you may not be familiar with the strange case of Tristan Smith and his illegal appropriation of Bruder Mouse. Even if you are a citizen of faraway Efica, you will only have heard rumours about the juggling, the somersaulting, the Burro Plasse tunnel, and the motel on the border...
Here, for the first time, is the truth about Tristan Smith. This fully annotated edition follows Tristan's career from his birth in the Republic of Efica in the year 371 to the present day.
The Unusual Life of Tristan Smith is an inventive romp by Peter Carey, the Booker Prize-winning author of Amnesia, Oscar and Lucinda and True History of the Kelly Gang.
