Biographie de l'auteur
Murray Bail was born in Adelaide in 1941, and now lives in Sydney. He is the author of three novels and a book of short stories, The Drover's Wife and Other Stories. Homesickness, his first novel, won the National Book Award for Australian Literature and the Melbourne Age Book of the Year Award. His subsequent novel, Holden's Performance, won the Vance Palmer Prize for Fiction. Eucalyptus, which was published by Harvill in 1998, was the winner of the 1999 Commonwealth Writers Prize and the Miles Franklin Literary Award.
Présentation de l'éditeur
Thirteen Australian package tourists set off around the world on the holiday of a lifetime. But as they trawl from country to country, through cities and round ever more obscure museums they find nothing as they expect it, least of all themselves. Homesickness is an enchanting novel: a wry, witty look at the ways people interact, a catalogue of comic digressions and tantalising information in which the world becomes a museum with no exhibit more bizarre than human nature itself.

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. Melbourne:WILL COMBINE BOOKS TO SAVE POSTAGE- Text Publishing, 1998 Used The wildly funny novel-never published before in the United States-that put Murray Bail on the literary map Thirteen men and women on a package tour travel the world, visiting museums, hotels, and shops They are like tourists anywhere, except that wherever they go-Africa, England, South America, New York, or Russia-they find nothing is as it seems Challenged by unexpected propositions, differences, and subtleties of life and history, Murray Bail's tourists are in turn repelled, attracted, altered As the Nobel laureate Patrick White put it, Homesickness, with its "tourists permanently traipsing through the museums of their own obsessions," is the work of "a visual writer with great understanding of sensual man" It is surely one of the most distinctive, original Australian novels of recent times.
