Review
Praise for Peter Carey Two-time Winner of the Booker PrizeFinalist for the International Man Booker Prize Winner of the Commonwealth Writers' PrizeFive-time Winner of the Miles Franklin Literary Award "Carey is a master craftsman, a comedian of the first order, an artist with an uncanny gift for the invention of situations that are bizarre yet believable. And as a double Booker Prize winner he doesn't have to prove anything to anyone--he has a licence to enjoy himself, and he does." --"Irish Independent"" ""Peter Carey is a wily seducer, a mental acrobat who can bound across continents and centuries and make us believe in whatever world he has discovered and imagined." --Paul Auster "Carey is a writer I prize not only for his remarkable Dickensian plots but also for the brilliance of his style.... He is the most exuberant stylist at work in English today." --Edmund White, "Daily Telegraph"
Book Description
Following the recent success of Parrot and Olivier in America comes another wonderfully rich tale with historical themes from the twice Booker-winner.
