Barley Patch by Gerald Murnane
Essential reading for anyone interested in the art of fiction and on how images shape our thoughts, reading and loves, Barley Patch lays bare the acts of writing and imagining. With something of the spirit of Calvino and Perec, this is a cornerstone of Murnane's unclassifiable project, for which he is a deserving Nobel Prize candidate.‘This is capital L Literature, bursting with intent and ideas, but written as good Literature should be: pitching at street level, without affectation or arch, high-blown languageBarley Patch is a readily accessible test of the mind’s elasticity that should be recognized as a unique, timeless, and utterly satisfying work.’ James Rose, New York Journal of Books
‘Murnane is unlike anyone else, the sort of writer who demands to be read in a new way but, above all, demands to be read.’ Brian Evenson, Chicago Review of Books
‘He is without question both the most original and most significant Australian author of the last 50 years, and one of the best writers Australia has produced.’ Emmett Stinson, The Guardian
Gerald Murnane is the award-winning author of acclaimed works of fiction as Border Districts, The Plains and Inland, and equally acclaimed non-fiction such as Last Letter to a Reader and the essay collection Invisible Yet Enduring Lilacs. Murnane lives in Goroke, a remote village in western Victoria, Australia.
