5.0 out of 5 stars
Evocative cover: masterfull stories, January 14, 2009
This review is from: Every Move You Make. David Malouf (Paperback)
David Malouf has accompanied most of my adult reading life. The early fiction from,'Johnno' 'The Great World', and the wonderful,'Remembering Babylon', plus a few volumes of poetry, 'First Things' and 'Wild Lemons' I've stumbled upon rather than sought out...satisfying in the most without an adrenalin rush. So then is it a reflection on our accumulated wisdom that this collection of absolute stunners will have me hooked to whatever he publishes from hereon? I can't remember better stories anywhere; the coming of age perceptions in, Valley of Lagoons, the title tale,the Vietnam era's,'War Baby', and the comically sad regression of an old woman accompanying her 43 yr old son on a pilgrimage to Uluru. Alice Munro, Grace Paley, William Trevor, make way on my shelves.
