A description of our secondhand books is not always available. Please contact us if you have a question about this title. Author: Robert Hollingworth Format: Paperback Number of Pages: 308 In 2004 the author found a little diary of 386 pages written by a 62-year-old man in a nursing home. This story is inspired by that diary. E=mc2? Jack Smythe thinks Einstein is wrong and he has a theory to prove it. But he's no physicist. Instead, he's been a homeless kid, a palmreader, a cosmic theorist, a father of two (who probably aren't his) and a devoted companion to his sister Kitty who has her own demons. But now at 62, he wakes after an operation to find he's been placed at Eden, a below-average nursing home. Here he is confronted by Nurse Stinson, Collier the Hun, Pistol Pete, Skeleton Joe, Dooley the publican, Jim the ex-politician and Jim's rebel granddaughter, among others. He wants nothing to do with any of them. Instead, with wry wit Jack begins a story about Kitty starting with the day they ran away from home for good. It seems Jack is always running away and ultimately there's a daring escape at Eden. But unknown to Jack, it's the muddle of geriatrics at Eden that eventually put meaning in his life.

Paperback. Robert Hollingworth, Harbour Publishing. Renowned abstract artist, the curmudgeonly octogenarian Giles Paumen, is the head of a family of artists, each of whom he considers less talented than himself. His son Laurence is a conceptual artist and lecturer, code for the fact that, unlike his father, he cannot paint at all. However, granddaughter Sophie has inherited the genes and is making a name for herself as a painter of massive portraits, not that Giles would ever dream of expressing a positive word about her work. When a new national art prize is announced, each of the Paumens secretly enters, the prize galvanizing them to embark in a new direction. Giles will complete a landscape honouring his wife who has recently died. Laurence heads to Uluru intending to capture the true spirit of Australia in this most iconic of outback locations. And Sophie decides to portray the malevolence lurking beneath the benign exterior of that most awful of men, the chauvinist. What none of them predicts is that they will all become embroiled in an art fraud which threatens to undermine their reputations and devastate their careers. Here, the truth of their narcissistic and insecure personalities is revealed as the underbelly of the art world is exposed in all its ugly, and hilarious, glory. Paperback.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - A compelling novel rich in beauty and magic by 'a gifted storyteller' (Sydney Morning Herald). Xavier is an outsider, with ideas that just don't add up in a post-modern world. It is not easy trying to become an artist. Especially with a tribal Hmong mother and an Australian father, both of whom are believed dead - and a grandfather who was a Hmong shaman. Unexpectedly, modern medicine saves Xavier from a fatal head injury with consequences that no-one is prepared to believe. For answers, Xavier must travel to the other side of the world: 'there are others'. Who is Eve, is she really afflicted with the same strange ability But she is much more than Xavier ever dreamed of. Somehow, they seem to have escaped the limitations of Western Rationalism, even if science is working on an explanation. Set one year before 9/11, The Floating is about being different and fitting in, discovering love, and finding inspiration in small things. A brilliant novel for anyone who still dares to dream.…
