Praiseworthy is an epic set in the north of Australia, told with the richness of language and scale of imagery for which Alexis Wright has become renowned. Her first novel since The Swan Book and Carpentaria, it is a work which pushes allegory and language to its limits, a cry of outrage against oppression and disadvantage, and a fable for the end of days.

The hardcover edition of Alexis Wright’s long-awaited new fiction book. The work has been described as ‘an abundant odyssey that contains a formidable vision of Australia’s future.…both urgent and deeply contemplated’ (The Age) and ‘monumental…a novel that spins a precious filament of hope that persistently tugs survival into sovereignty’ (Australian Book Review).

The new edition of Alexis Wright’s 2006 classic Carpentaria, an epic of the Gulf country of north-western Queensland. Winner of multiple literary awards, including the Miles Franklin, the novel teems with extraordinary characters – from the outcast saviour Elias Smith, to the fish-embalming king of time Norman Phantom – and is told in a form of storytelling both operatic and surreal: a blend of myth and scripture, politics and farce.

The new edition of Alexis Wright’s The Swan Book, a novel set in a future in which Aboriginal peoples still live under the Intervention in the north, in an environment fundamentally altered by climate change. First published in 2013, the book won the ALS Gold Medal and the Kate Challis RAKA Award, with the latter’s judges calling it ‘a sprawling, magnificent achievement, a remarkable imaginative vision of Australia as it was and is, and will be.’
