Nowhere are these more eloquent than in Australia, generations of whose young men have enlisted to fight other people's battles - from Gallipoli and the Somme to Malaya and Vietnam. In THE GREAT WORLD, his finest novel yet, David Malouf gives a voice to that experience. But THE GREAT WORLD is more than a novel of war. Ranging over seventy years of Australian life, from Sydney's teeming King's Cross to the tranquil backwaters of the Hawkesbury River, it is a remarkable novel of self-knowledge and lost innocence, of survival and witness.\u003cbr\u003e\n      Review      \u003cbr\u003e\nIt is this characteristic opposition which makes\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Great World a truthful portrait of Australia. Sufferings and wrongs abound, but there is no dullness. ―\u003cbr\u003e\nIndependent\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAn example of how fiction may still be individual, honest and humanly truthful. Malouf's great talent is precisely for unmasking the epic or world-historical - for finding the human backing to history's all reflecting mirror ―\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Times\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nLucid and accessible.
