A man moves from a capital city to a remote town in the border
country, where he intends to spend the last years of his life. It
is time, he thinks, to review the spoils of a lifetime of seeing, a
lifetime of reading. Which sights, people, books, fictional
characters, turns of phrase and lines of verse will survive into
the twilight? Feeling an increasing urgency to put his mental
landscape in order, the man sets to work cataloguing his memories,
little knowing what secrets they will yield and where his `report'
will lead.Border Districts is a jewel of a farewell from one of the
greatest living writers of English prose. Winner of the Australian
2018 Prime Minister's Literary Award and shortlisted for the 2018
Miles Franklin Award, this is Murnane's first work to be published
in the UK in thirty years.
