paperback. Condition: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton…mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Add to basketpaperback. Condition: Good. Vintage Penguin First Edition. #2405. Cookâs novel follows John Grant, a young schoolteacher whose brief stopover in the outback town of Bundanyabba unravels into a brutal descent fuelled by heat, alcohol and peer pressure. As Grant is drawn into the townâs rough camaraderie, his judgement erodes and…he becomes trapped in a cycle of humiliation, violence and self-loathing. The storyâs stark, economical prose intensifies its claustrophobic atmosphere, exposing the darker side of isolation and outback masculinity. A powerful and unsettling modern classic, long recognised as one of Australiaâs most disturbing works of fiction.
