Praiseworthy

"And I was also excited to see that Aboriginal Australian writer Alexis Wright—author of the Outback epic Carpentaria and the bleakly fantastical The Swan Book —has a new book, Praiseworthy , out now in Australia and the UK, and shortly to be released in the US. Every book by Wright is a literary event, in my opinion. Praiseworthy is an environmental allegory set in a small Aboriginal town in the north of Australia, and—in true Wright style—bends time and space as it interweaves oral history, ancestral myth, and dystopian vision. The Sydney Morning Herald declared it “an abundant odyssey that contains a formidable vision of Australia’s future.”"
