Landscape with Landscape

Landscape with Landscape is Gerald Murnane's first collection of short fiction. These loosely connected stories trace a journey through the suburbs of Melbourne in the 1960s, as the writer negotiates the conflicting demands of Catholicism and sex, self-consciousness and intimacy, alcohol and literature. Harshly reviewed upon publication, it is now lauded as some of his best writing, offering a wide-ranging exploration of the landscapes which make up the imagination of this extraordinary Australian writer.
