The Motorcycle Cafe,
By Joan Raftery (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Motorcycle Cafe (Paperback)
The Motorcycle Cafe by Matthew Condon was his first published novel. The story of George, motorcycle mechanic and grandfather, is told by a number of narrators. The impressions this novel left, are of a time past, looked at through windows covered in sea salt and motorcycle grease. The style of writing is simplistic, quiet; the story, a second hand account of a man's history hidden within secret letters and within the walls of an abandoned shop. Like the facts of George's life, the narrator's identity is also partly buried. Whether or not his name is mentioned, I cannot recall, and this effect of Condon's adds to the mystery: who was the real George and can we really know him when our main narrator carries with him the secret of his own identity?
