From the international bestselling and Booker Prize nominated
author of The Slap comes a blazingly brilliant new novel. Winner of
the 2006 Age Fiction Prize Winner of the 2006 Melbourne Best
Writing Award Part long-forgotten myth, part meditation on the
violence and tragedy of contemporary Europe, Dead Europe is an
unsettling story about blood lust and blood revenge; a novel of
blazing brilliance from the acclaimed author of The Slap. Isaac, a
young Australian photographer, is travelling through Europe. His
whole life he has longed for the sophistication and wealth of the
Europe of his father's stories, the Europe at the centre of
civilization and culture. But behind the facade of a unified and
globalized contemporary society, he finds a history-blasted
wasteland, a place forever condemned by the ghosts of its
unspeakable past. In the mountain village in the Balkans where his
mother was born, he unearths ancient terrors that have not been
laid to rest, and perhaps never can be.
