Book Description Paperback. Condition: Good. 324 pages. Text tanned.Steven Muir, August Spiess and his dau ghter Gertrude, and Lang Tzu all acknowledge a restless sense of cultural displacement, an ambivalence in their relations with the culture of European Australia. Steven left England for Australia as a young man and his one attempt at returning is unsuccessful. August Spiess, although he speaks frequently of returning to his native Hamburg, fails to make the journey, as does his daughter Gertrude. Lang Tzu's very name defines his fate: 'two characters which in Mandarin signify the son who goes away.' The 'game', how ever, does have winners. For despite their yearnings for the home of their ancestral dreams, a desire to belong somewhere that is truly their own, none leaves Australia, and each in their own way comes to see that to be at home in exile may be a defining parad ox of the European Australian condition.
