In a small town dominated by a haze cloud, which heralds both an ecological catastrophe and a gathering of the ancestors, a crazed visionary seeks out donkeys as the solution to the global climate crisis and the economic dependency of the Aboriginal people. His wife seeks solace from his madness in following the dance of butterflies and scouring the internet to find out how she can seek repatriation for her Aboriginal/Chinese family to China. One of their sons, called Aboriginal Sovereignty, is determined to commit suicide. The other, Tommyhawk, wishes his brother dead so that he can pursue his dream of becoming white and powerful. This is a novel which pushes allegory and language to its limits, a cry of outrage against oppression and disadvantage, and a fable for the end of days.'Monumental. calls to mind the work of Thomas Bernhard or the quiet rage of Dostoyevsky. Praiseworthy blew me away.' Australian Book ReviewPraise for Alexis Wright:The writing is the best in the country, some of the best in the world; we call to mind Alexis Wright when they talk about our countrys great literary voice. Tara June WinchIm awed by the range, experiment and political intelligence of [Alexis Wrights] work, from fiction such as Carpentaria and The Swan Book, to her collective memoir of an Aboriginal elder in Tracker. As essayist, activist, novelist and oral historian she is vital on the subject of land and people.
