The Pages: on sale today
It’s been twelve years since the publication of Eucalyptus, Murray Bail’s beloved novel about a gum tree growing searching for a husband for his daughter. Today sees the publication of his latest and much anticipated novel The Pages.
The New York Times Book Review writes, “Bail isn’t a prolific novelist, but the pages he does produce exhibit a surfeit of imagination, skill, and style….’Psychology and philosophy,’ he writes: ‘Too much of one, not enough of the other.’ It might also be said of Murray Bail’s novels–there are not enough of them.” And the Seattle Times says, “Subtle, playful, cerebral and strange, Murray Bail’s novels are among the headiest treats in Australian fiction.”
