The Bodysurfers by Robert Drewe
A short story collection set at the Australian beachSet among the surf and sandhills of the Australian beach--and the tidal changes of three generations of the Lang family--this collection of short stories is an Australian classic. The Bodysurfers vividly evokes the beach, with the scent of the suntan oil, the sting of the sun, and a lazy sensuality, all the while hinting at a deep undercurrent of suburban malaise.
Robert Drewe is an award-winning novelist, short story writer, and nonfiction writer from Australia. Fortune, Our Sunshine, and The Shark Net, a prize-winning memoir, are among his works. Our Sunshine was renamed Ned Kelly and starred Heath Ledger, Orlando Bloom, and Naomi Watts in an international picture directed by Gregor Jordan and starring Heath Ledger, Orlando Bloom, and Naomi Watts. The Shark Net was converted into an international television mini-series produced by ABC-BBC and a BBC radio drama. The Bodysurfers was also adapted for radio and the stage, and became a successful ABC and BBC TV mini-series.
