The Plains
The Plains | Gerald Murnane
5 posts | 8 read | 2 to read
This haunting novel is a classic of Australian literature. A nameless young man arrives on the plains and begins to document the strange and rich culture of the plains families. As his story unfolds, the novel becomes, in the words of Murray Bail: a mirage of landscape, memory, love and literature itself.

Wonderful things come in little packages from Book Depository. 🤗 I know I can't be the only one who drops everything (e.g. work) to check the mailbox!

The Plains: Text Classics | Gerald Murnane, Wayne Macauley

"A plainsman would not only claim to be ignorant of the ways of other regions but willingly appear to be misinformed about them. Most irritating of all to outsiders, he would affect to be without any distinguishing culture rather than allow his land and his ways to be judged part of some larger community of contagious tastes or fashions."

I must get!
