On the surface, this is a novel about war but really it is more
about the after-effects of war. It follows a man called Digger from
his home near a desolate crossing in Australia to fighting in the
Far East, and back again to Sydney, after being a prisoner of the
Japanese. Relationships forged in the prison camp influence life
afterwards to such an extent that the war is seen to dominate the
entire life not just of Digger, and of Vic, his 'friend', but of
all the family back home. (Kirkus UK)
Every city, town and village has its memorial to war. Nowhere are these more eloquent than in Australia, generations of whose young men have enlisted to fight other people's battles - from Gallipoli and theSomme to Malaya and Vietnam. In THE GREAT WORLD, his finest novel yet,David Malouf gives a voice to that experience. But THE GREAT WORLD is more than a novel of war. Ranging over seventy years of Australian life, from Sydney's teeming King's Cross to the tranquil backwaters ofthe Hawkesbury River, it is a remarkable novel of self-knowledge and lost innocence, of survival and witness.
