À propos de ce produit

Product Information

Irene Bobs loves fast driving. Her husband is the best car salesman in southeastern Australia. Together they enter the 1954 Redex Trial, a weeks-long endurance contest of a car race that circles the entire continent. With them is their lanky, fair-haired navigator: deposed quiz show champion and failed schoolteacher Willie Bachhuber. If they win the Redex, the Bobs name alone will get them a dealership, and Willie will have recharged a life currently ground to a halt. But before any of that might happen, their official strip maps will lead them, without warning, out of the comfortable white Australia they know so well. A breakneck, often hilarious, eye-opening adventure that at the same time reminds us how white people took possession of a timeless culture--the high purpose they invented, and the crimes they committed along the way-- A Long Way from Home is Peter Carey's late-style masterpiece.

Reviews

"Not since True History of the Kelly Gang has he seemed so on-song." --Andrew Dickson, Financial Times "His best novel in years, maybe decades." --Alex Preston, The Guardian (UK) "He's long been concerned with illegitimacy in the form of (white) confidence tricksters and outlaws . . . but here it's culturally appropriated falsehoods that are called into question, and 'horrendous' deeds brought to light." --Lucy Scholes, The Independent (UK) (four stars) "An Ebullient comic caper. . . . Intensely engaging in more ways than one, [a] high-octane novel." --Peter Kemp, The Sunday Times (UK) "[An] on-the-road adventure, revisionist history and moral fable . . . a rich narrative stew." --Robert Douglas Fairhurst, The Times (UK) "Peter Carey's new novel is a pretty remarkable beast. . . . Strange, tender, always somehow comical . . . A wild, strange, magical ride of a book." --Sam Leith, The Telegraph (UK) "A moving meditation on multiple forms of paternal failure and the culture of racism that have shaped modern Australia. To give away more would risk spoiling the genuine pleasures." --Patrick Flanery, The Spectator (UK) " A Long Way from Home is a novel full of riches. The road race propels the plot along, but it's really a book about cultural identity, about family, about the ability to empathise with others. As such, it's hugely relevant for our times." --Arminta Wallace, Irish Times " A Long Way from Home reminds us that great novels are not ideological--neither exploitative nor excessively well-meaning--but tough-minded, complex admissions of failure, guilt and confusion." --Geordie Williamson, The Australian "A major work of fiction by the writer who will probably be regarded, in a hundred years, as the leading Australian novelist from the early part of the twenty-first century. . . . A highly enjoyable reading experience." --Paul Giles, Australian Book Review "This picaresque comedy goes thematically deeper as it heads into the Outback. The antic tone of this 14th novel by Australian-born Carey belies its serious ambition. The comic spirit slyly suggests Shakespeare, an inquiry into identity and the farcical human existence. . . . Carey's novel raises issues of culture and race that carry a thoroughly contemporary charge." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "One of Australia's greatest authors . . . Carey employs both a multi-voice narrative and a continent-spanning car race to emulate the disparate voices and fits and starts that comprise Australia's history. Highly recommended." -- Library Journal (starred review), "This picaresque comedy goes thematically deeper as it heads into the Outback. The antic tone of this 14th novel by Australian-born Carey belies its serious ambition. The comic spirit slyly suggests Shakespeare, an inquiry into identity and the farcical human existence. . . . In the guise of a period piece, Carey's novel raises issues of culture and race that carry a thoroughly contemporary charge." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "One of Australia's greatest authors . . . Carey employs both a multi-voice narrative and a continent-spanning car race to emulate the disparate voices and fits and starts that comprise Australia's history. Highly recommended." -- Library Journal, (starred review), "Not since True History of the Kelly Gang has he seemed so on-song." --Andrew Dickson, Financial Times "His best novel in years, maybe decades." --Alex Preston, The Guardian (UK) "Peter Carey deserves the Nobel Prize in literature for lifting the heart." --Allison Pearson, The Telegraph (UK) "Evocative and exciting . . . Rip-roaring colour and action . . . this is the first time he's directly dealt with Aboriginal history, and A Long Way From Home is all the more powerful for it." --Lucy Scholes, The Independent (UK) (four stars) "An Ebullient comic caper. . . . Intensely engaging in more ways than one, [a] high-octane novel." --Peter Kemp, The Sunday Times (UK) "[An] on-the-road adventure, revisionist history and moral fable . . . a rich narrative stew." --Robert Douglas Fairhurst, The Times (UK) "A profound and poignant story . . . determined to unearth the richness of Aboriginal culture even while respecting its secrets. Those conflicting goals ultimately find perfect expression in Carey's strange narrative." --Ron Charles, The Washington Post "What a delightful writer Peter Carey is, and how varied are the delights he offers. . . . There's the supple and musical prose . . . filled with flashes of poetic brilliance. . . . . A Long Way from Home charts old territory and strikes out in new directions. It's one of Carey's best, and boldest, efforts yet." --Anthony Domestico, The Boston Globe "Peter Carey's new novel is a pretty remarkable beast. . . . Strange, tender, always somehow comical . . . A wild, strange, magical ride of a book." --Sam Leith, The Telegraph (UK) "A moving meditation on multiple forms of paternal failure and the culture of racism that have shaped modern Australia. To give away more would risk spoiling the genuine pleasures." --Patrick Flanery, The Spectator (UK) " A Long Way from Home is a novel full of riches. The road race propels the plot along, but it's really a book about cultural identity, about family, about the ability to empathise with others. As such, it's hugely relevant for our times." --Arminta Wallace, Irish Times "I couldn't have imagined that a car race could be so enthralling." --Tessa Hadley, The Guardian (UK) " A Long Way from Home reminds us that great novels are not ideological--neither exploitative nor excessively well-meaning--but tough-minded, complex admissions of failure, guilt and confusion." --Geordie Williamson, The Australian "A major work of fiction by the writer who will probably be regarded, in a hundred years, as the leading Australian novelist from the early part of the twenty-first century. . . .
