Abandoning their broken-down car on the way to the prison's visiting hour, Amanda and Rattuwat venture into the trackless scrub of Australia's outer suburbs. As the day heats up, the sense of menace intensifies and each of them enters the no-man's-land between safety and peril. With the right kind of mindfulness, William Blake tells us, one can behold infinity in a grain of sand. In the grainy bush tracks of the outer eastern suburbs of Perth, the whole canvas of contemporary Australian life - the ethnic diversity, its violence, its growing divisions of class and economic status, its convoluted history of linkage with South East Asia - is made vivid and visible in this remarkable novella. 650 0 $a Prisoners $z Australia $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Culture conflict $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Australian fiction $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Australian fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00821424 650 7 $a Culture conflict. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00885099 650 7 $a Prisoners. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01077103 651 7 $a Australia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204543 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 653 $a Australian 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Australian fiction $y 21st century. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180710042036.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E3B4F808F11D11E79D0FC10F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
