β¦ Synopsis
Winner of the Prime Ministers Literary Award for Poetry and Christopher Brennan Award (for lifetime achievement in poetry) and shortlisted in the Steele Rudd Prize for a collection of short fiction, John Kinsella returns with a not-to-be-missed addition to the canon of one of Australias most original and incisive writers.
A man who never sleeps takes a cross-continent train journey into landscape and memory. A gregarious woman and a reclusive man move to an Irish village where history and tradition (the famine pit nearby, the festival of Halloween) enact their dark forces. In an Australian town dying from the encroachment of salinity, a young girl attempts to bring life to a dead dog. Whether documenting love or horror, or finding quotidian absurdities in Australia or the world , the powerful stories in Crows Breath capture the precariousness of everything we most value with unsettling tenderness and beauty.
Energetic and ruthless. Kinsellas writing is stunningly good Australian Book Review
Kinsella knows how to distil stories to their essence Herald Sun
