Synopsis
When Wolfi, a brilliant young philosophy student, begins recounting his life - from his inquisitorial father and passionate mother, to his eccentric grandmother who paid for his sexual initiation with the beautiful Andrea - we are lured into a mysterious and erotic maze. But what in fact is fact, and what in fiction is fiction? A brilliantly seductive classic, Mark Henshaw's Out of the Line of Fire was the literary sensation of the year when it was first published, in 1988. With a new introduction by The Australian's literary editor, Stephen Romei.
