Chinese Postman

Brian Castro

In the character of Abraham Quin – a thrice-divorced migrant and writer, and a one-time postman and professor living alone in the Adelaide Hills – one of Australia’s most important novelists writes about the experience of old age. As Quin becomes increasingly engaged in an epistolary correspondence with a woman seeking refuge from the war in Ukraine, he offers up memories and anxieties, obsessions and opinions, and his thoughts on solitude, writing, friendship and time.
