A magnificent novel of betrayal and self-delusion, madness and consuming passions, "I'm Dying Laughing" spans three decades and two continents as it re-creates to chilling effect the political turbulence of the American Left and the clamor and menace of the McCarthy Right. And not since her classic "The Man Who Loved Children" has Christina Stead fashioned two such large and memorable characters as Emily Wilkes and Stephen Howard. Emily, writer of successful pop novels and film scripts, is a woman of enormous but mercurial enthusiasms and a voracious appetite for experience, whose unflagging ebullience masks a darkness that will lead to disaster. . . . Savage, tragic, and mordantly funny, "I'm Dying Laughing" is manifestly the work of one of our great writers.".

Christina Stead is often coupled with Patrick White as the two most important Australian-born novelists of this century. Her published work spans five decades, but official recognition came late in her life, with an Emeritus Fellowship from the Australian National University in 1979 and the NSW Premier's Award for her contribution to Australian literature in 1982.This cross-section of Stead's work, both published and unpublished, amply displays the range of her writing as well as her political and social views. Her fiction is represented by selections from three novels and short fiction with Australian settings and associations, and by the complete novella The Puzzleheaded Girl. Material previously unavailable in book form includes extracts from interviews and the draft of a rare public talk on "The Uses of the Many Charactered Novel". Quantity Available: 1.
