The plains
Murnane, Gerald, 1939-2013
Book
Since its first publication in 1982, this haunting novel has earned its status as a classic. A nameless young man arrives on 'the plains' and begins to document the strange and rich culture of the plains families, with intention of producing a film. As his story unfolds, the novel becomes, in the words of Murray Bail, 'a mirage of landscape, memory, love and literature itself'.
