Description:
Bloomsbury is pleased to announce the second title in the phenomenally well-received Writer and the City Series -- in which some of the world's finest novelists reveal the secrets of the city they know best. In the midst of the 2000 Olympic games, Australia native Peter Carey returns to Sydney after a seventeen-year absence. Examining the urban landscape as both a tourist and a prodigal son, Carey structures his account around the four elements -- Earth, Air, Fire, and Water -- insisting on the primacy of nature to this unique Australian cityscape.
Expand description
As his quixotic account unfolds, Carey looks both inward into his past (as well as Sydney's own violent history) and outward onto the city's familiar landmarks and surroundings -- the Opera House, the Harbour Bridge, the Blue Mountains -- achieving just the right alchemy of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water to tell Sydney's extraordinary story.
