Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Faint scratches on covers due to shelf wear. Furphy's Such Is Life, first published in 1903, is one of the great experiemental and comic works of Australian literature. It is also a novel which demands a good deal of background knowledge and experience of the bush, as well as considerable mental agility. As Furphy himself noted when reviewing his own book, many of Tom Collins's 'quotations and inferences, moe or less apt' are 'too recondite for the casual reader'. This annotated edition attempts to provide the background necessary for a fuller appreciation of Joseph Furphy's classic novel by illuminating social and historical details, by providing the context (often ironical) for the extensive literary allusions, and by unravelling intricacies of plot and episodes that are still sometimes overlooked. The aim is to enrich the enjoyment of devoted Furphyites and to introduce new readers to the pleasures of this great Australian classic. Cover painting 'While the Billy Boils' by Frank McCubbin.
