Giramondo tomes bundle

Prize-winning biographer Evelyn Juers, author of House of Exile and The Recluse, portrays the life and background of a pioneering Australian dancer, who died in tragic circumstances at the age of twenty-five.

Published in one volume for the first time is the Nobel Prize-winning Norwegian novelist’s magnum opus, shortlisted for the International Booker Prize. Septology is a transcendent exploration of the human condition, and a radically other reading experience – incantatory, hypnotic and utterly unique.

Winner of six major literary awards, including the Miles Franklin and Stella Prize, 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.
