Tracker is a collective memoir of the Aboriginal leader Tracker Tilmouth. He was a visionary who with irreverent humour told it like it is. Having known him for many years, Alexis Wright interviewed Tracker and those around him, weaving their stories together in a manner reminiscent of the oral history writing of Svetlana Alexievich.
