Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A satirical and surreal twist on the Anzac legend of Simpson and his donkey.Ninety years after they were thought to have died heroically in the Great War, the stretcher-bearer Simpson and his donkey journey through country Victoria, performing minor miracles and surviving on offerings left a…t war memorials. They are making their twenty-ninth, and perhaps final, attempt to find the country's famed Inland Sea.On the road north from Melbourne, Simpson and his weary donkey encounter a broke single mother, a suicidal Vietnam veteran, a refugee who has lost everything, an abused teenager and a deranged ex-teacher. These are society's downtrodden, whom Simpson believes can be renewed by the healing waters of the sea.In Simpson Returns, Wayne Macauley sticks a pin in the balloon of our national myth. A concise satire of Australian platitudes about fairness and egalitarianism, it is timely, devastating and witheringly funny. A satirical and surreal twist on the Anzac legend of Simpson and his donkey Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
