A propos du livre

Revue de presse

Rhyll McMaster's debut novel is simultaneously a portrait of an artist, an examination of the emotional alchemy from which art is born and a coming-of-age tale... The juxtaposition of mystery and harsh grit lends the book a compelling friction. --Helen Oyeyemi

Feather Man is at once both unflinching and poetic. McMaster's unique perspective illuminates the hidden corners of the lives she portrays. --Catherin O'Flynn

Let me say first that Rhyll McMaster is an extraordinary writer. Her prose is dazzling, poetic and thought-provoking, and this is literary fiction at its best...I have likened Rhyll McMaster to Margaret Atwood. Atwood is brilliant, but in my view McMaster is even better...my money is on Feather Man making the Booker Prize longlist here. --Lisa Glass, Vulpes Libris

Présentation de l'éditeur

Set in Brisbane during the stultifying 1950s, this account of the betrayal of love throws us into the disordered world of Sookie, a young artist. As she transits warily to the London of the 'swinging' 70s, she comes up against those who would try to steal her very identity. Intelligent, mordantly funny, it is dark comedy with edges.
