![]() ![]() Carey takes us to that strange land of Australia so that he can show off the local fauna in its natural habitat. The real problem was that I had no real memories of either book save that both started to feel like a chore to wade through in order to get to the finish.īut it's been a number of years since, and with the release by Vintage Canada of his latest book Theft I decided to take the plunge again. It wasn't that either Illywhacker or Oscar and Lucinda were badly written or anything, or even that they weren't readable and likeable, it's just I wasn't particularly moved by either one of them. If you had asked me why I wouldn't have been able to give you a real reason, save there were other books I was more interested in reading, or that he wasn't on my watch list for new releases. But since then I haven't picked up any of his books. The first book I read by Peter Carey was Illywhacker and I was intrigued enough to read Oscar and Lucinda. ![]()
