Description
Collection of essays that chart the author's development as a novelist and provide insight into his feelings about the place of Australia within the Asian-Pacific region, as evidenced in 'Across the Sea Wall' (1965) and the 1979 NBC Banjo Award-winning 'Year of Living Dangerously'. The reader is transported through India, Indonesia, London and San Francisco and presented with literary anecdotes, yet the influence of the author's native Tasmania remains paramount. First published in the UK in 1987.
