Books

Ficciones (Fictions), Jorge Luis Borges
Borges returns again and again to his celebrated themes: dreams, labyrinths, mirrors, infinite libraries, the manipulations of chance, gaucho knife fighters, transparent tigers, and the elusive nature of identity.

Illywhacker, Peter Carey
In Australian slang, an illywhacker is a country fair con man, an unprincipled seller of fake diamonds and dubious tonics. And Herbert Badgery, the 139-year-old narrator, may be the king of them all.

Nights at the Circus, Angela Carter
This collection of short stories gathers early reflections on jazz and Japan, through vigorous refashionings of vampires and werewolves, to stunning snapshots of real-life outcasts and the glorious but tainted world of 'the rich and famous.'

The Day Lasts More Than A Hundred Years, Chingiz Aitmatov
Yedigei looks back on his life as he brings the body of a close friend across the steppes of Central Asia to be buried in an ancient cemetary.

The Name of the Rose, Umberto Eco
Franciscans in a wealthy Italian abbey in 1327 are suspected of heresy, and Brother William arrives to investigate the eerie labyrinth of the abbey, where "the most interesting things happen at night".

Threshold (The Beginning Place) , Ursula K. Le Guin
A magical place across a creek provides sanctuary for two young people in flight from the banality of their daily lives, until their paradise turns into a hell on Earth.

The Invention of the World, Jack Hodgins
Donal Keneally, an Irish giant who thought he could invent the world, leads a band of faithful followers from Ireland to Vancouver Island in search of Eden

The Glass Bead Game (Magister Ludi), Herman Hesse
Hesse's final novel is an intricate bildungsroman about humanity's eternal quest for enlightenment and for synthesis of the intellectual and the participatory life.

The History of Danish Dreams, Peter Hoeg
Hoeg's cast includes a count who builds a wall around his estate and stops all his clocks to prevent the passage of time, and an old lady who presides over a powerful newspaper dynasty and predicts the future accurately in print without ever learning to read and write.

The Last Magician, Janette Turner Hospital
Lucy, a good girl and a whore, spends her nights in a kaleidoscope of identities. Charlie, a photographer, filmmaker, voyeur, and the last magician, piecestogether the splinters of evidence surrounding a crime that happened half a lifetime ago.

Cloudstreet, Tim Winton
Struggling to rebuild their lives after being touched by disaster, the Pickle family takes in the God-fearing Lambs as tenants. Their shared experiences bond them to each other and to their bustling, haunted house in ways no one could have anticipated.

The Child in Time, Ian McEwan
A spare yet evocative novel that explores the dark sides of parenting and humanity by an author compared to Dickens, Lawrence and Woolf.
