This book is a reflective journey through the disintegration of the
"big story." The big story is the one we live inside of, the one
that gives us the certainties and continuities of our lives. The
disintegration occurred in Sydney in the late 1960s, amid social
and personal turmoil, and led to the narrator's flight to the
country. He finds a place to settle, gives up books, begins to
garden. Gradually he reclaims the centre, and gradually he
re-engages with society, although there is tumult in that too. But
there is love, there is music, and there are visions of life with
spirit and with ethics. The narrator talks his way through,
remembering, recounting, rejecting, resolving. There are four parts
to the story - Disintegration, Renewing, Onward and Reframing. The
book is the fourth book the author has written as part of National
Novel Writing Month, where the project is to write a book of at
least 50,000 words in one month.
