Add to basketHardback. Colin Johnson, Angus and Robertson. Edition: 1st ed.,Condition remarks:Book: Good Jacket: Wear and tearPages: Good Markings: No markingsA landmark of Australian literature, Wild Cat Falling chronicles the restless, directionless life of a young half-caste Aboriginal man newly released from prison in 1960s Perth, Wester…n Australia. Written with raw, unflinching honesty, the novel presents its unnamed protagonist drifting through a world that offers him no clear identity - caught between white Australian society, which rejects him, and an Aboriginal culture from which he feels increasingly disconnected. Influenced by the Beat Generation and existentialist thought, the narrative captures a voice that is simultaneously defiant and deeply melancholic, illustrating the psychological toll of colonial dispossession on a personal, intimate scale. As the first novel published by an Aboriginal Australian author, it stands as a groundbreaking work that uncovers the systemic racism and social alienation embedded in mid-twentieth-century Australia with searing clarity. Hardback.

Author: Colin JohnsonBinding: HardbackPublished: Angus and Robertson , 1965Condition:Book: GoodJacket: Chipped and worn with some minor damagePages: Tanning and foxingMarkings: Previous ownerCondition remarks: Worn and discoloured DJ with some ripping and chips. Light denting to spi…ne of board. Tanning to interior of DJ and block. This powerful novel chronicles the journey of a young Aboriginal man grappling with identity and societal alienation in 1960s Australia. Its raw, poignant narrative uncovers the harsh realities of prejudice and the protagonist's struggle for belonging amidst a world that rejects him. The story illustrates themes of freedom, confinement, and the search for meaning, presenting a compelling portrait of a marginalized individual. As a seminal work, Wild Cat Falling stands as a vital contribution to Australian literature, offering a profound and unflinching perspective. Hardback.
