Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. An astonishingly inventive, playful, witty, poignant and deeply moving novel from one of Australia's most exciting writers.Shortlisted for THE AGE BOOK OF THE YEAR and THE READINGS NEW AUSTRALIAN FICTION PRIZE in 2023. Margaret Bryce, deceased mother of twins, has been having a hard time since dying in 2014. These days she spends time with her daughters - Eva in Madrid, and Rachel and her family in Melbourne - and her estranged husband, Henry, in Aberdeen. Mostly she enjoys the experience of revisiting the past, but she's tiring of the seemingly random events to which she repeatedly bears witness. There must be something more to life, she thinks. And death.Spanning more than seventy-five years, from 1945 to 2021, A Country of Eternal Light follows Margaret as she flits from wartime Germany to Thatcher's Britain to modern-day Scotland, Australia and Spain, ruminating on everything from the Piper Alpha oil rig disaster and Australia's Black Summer bushfires to Mary Queen of Scots' beheading, the death of Princess Diana and in-vitro fertilisation. But why is facing up to what's happened in one's past as hard as, if not harder than, blocking it out completely? A poignant, utterly original and bitingly funny novel about complicated grief and how we remain wanted by our loved ones, dead or alive.PRAISE FOR A COUNTRY OF ETERNAL LIGHT'Inventive and moving . superb' The Australian'A startlingly ambitious novel . astonishingly accomplished, bittersweet, poignant and funny. Paul Dalgarno has gifted the world something quite rare. A novel that is not only an immersive, engaging, and entertaining read, but one that makes us think. The year is young indeed, but I am quietly confident this wonderful novel might well be my favourite read for 2023.' Readings'Playful . shimmering . a delight . [Dalgarno] is an author whose sense of playfulness establishes the terms and conditions of an eminently readable narrator: charismatic yet patient, moulded by an elastic sense of the plausible, and yet anchored by exactly the right feeling for the truths that matter most when confronted with the long view of a life in full.' Sydney Morning Herald'Often playful and always deep, an underlying sadness penetrates these pages. Then again, so does joy, with passages capable of eliciting laughter and tears in quick succession . these reruns of life combine humour and heart with beautiful prose, in glorious detail . A Country of Eternal Light overflows with beauty and pain, twin concepts with emotional tendrils that are irrevocably intertwined. A subtle sense of foreboding permeates this stunning narrative about the ephemeral nature of human life, culminating in a conclusion capable of cracking a reader in two.' Artshub'Prepare to have your heart broken and mended and broken again . Paul Dalgarno writes with mischievous delight and compassionate intelligence. I gasped in sheer wonder on finishing this illuminating meditation on the demands of grief, time and love that fragment and bind a family; Mary Shelley would clap her hands in delight at such an audacious creation' - Josephine Taylor, author of Eye of a Rook'Luminous, transportive, A Country of Eternal Light takes us on a metaphysical literary journey that interrogates the nature of death while exploring the outer limits of grief. Uncanny, evocative and droll.' - Chris Flynn, author of Mammoth'A balance of electric brightness and sequestered shadows - a powerful, rollicking and memorable narrative. A philosophical, emotional and entertaining work, startlingly imagined' - Angela Meyer, author of A Superior Spectre'Wonderful, heartbreaking and beautiful.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. From its early settler days and Federation to the extreme literary censorship of the 20th century, from the 2017 Marriage Amendment Act to present-day morality and identity politics, it's tempting to ask- is 'fun-loving, laid-back' Australia actually a bit, well, prudish?Interviewing more than 30 Australia-based authors and thinkers while examining his own journey towards being openly non-monogamous, Poly author Paul Dalgarno pulls together social history and illuminating first-hand accounts of what it means to have 'unconventional' relationships - with others and even with ourselves - in 21st-century Australia.Do authors such as Christos Tsiolkas, Dennis Altman and Andrea Goldsmith think we're more tolerant than we once were? Are writers such as Lee Kofman, Rochelle Siemienowicz and Jinghua Qian optimistic about the future? Do terms such as LGBTQIA+ help or hinder meaningful progress? How does transitioning now compare to transitioning in the 1990s? How does 'queerness' affect notions of parenthood? Do therapists and psychologists still operate from a straight-white-male perspective and how can new practitioners such as popular psychologist and author Chris Cheers change that?Entertaining, insightful, funny and thought-provoking, Prudish Nation adjusts the country's bedside lamp to show us a little more clearly who and what we really are. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
