Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Reading fragments of his ancestor's journal Lo Yun Shan gives Australian-born Chinese man Seamus O'Young an odd sensation: familiarity. Their lives are quite different-Shan left China for the goldfields in the mid-19th century-but something links them. As Seamus seeks to understand what it i…s, and what it means, his mind begins to unravel in Brian Castro's astonishing debut.First published in 1983, Birds of Passage was joint winner of The Australian/Vogel National Literary Award the previous year. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. After 40 years in Australia, Antonio Castro packs a bag and walks out of his old life forever. The victim of a restlessness he calls "Shanghai Dancing," Antonio seeks to understand the source of his condition in his family's wanderings. Reversing his parents' own migration, Antonio heads bac…k to their native Shanghai, where his world begins to fragment as his ancestry starts to flood into his present, and emissaries of glittering pre-war China, evangelical Liverpool and seventeenth-century Portugal merge into contemporary backdrops across Asia, Europe and Australia. A "fictional autobiography," Shanghai Dancing is a dazzling meditation on identity, language and disorientation that combines photographs and written images in the style of W.G. Sebald. The Age has described the book as "an extraordinary polyglot mix of sources: Portuguese, Chinese, English, Jewish and Catholic, and a mysterious recessive black gene. told in Castro's characteristically baroque prose, dense with its passion for language and serious wordplay." The winner of some of Australia's top literary prizes, Shanghai Dancing has been praised by its judges as "a work of major significance [that] challenges our expectations of storytelling. It is impressive as history, as fiction, as a book which stretches the literary form and which speaks to the universality of the human experience." Shanghai Dancing marks the U.S. debut of a major Australian literary figure. Originally published: Artarmon, NSW: Giramondo Pub., 2003. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Hot on the heels of Pomeroy, Castro's third novel Double-Wolf was also published in 1991. It takes as its premise the fact that Sergei Wespe, Freud's famous 'Wolfman' patient, was an aspiring writer, and adept at spinning tales. Was what he told Freud 'the truth' about his neurotic condition…, or did he spin out an elaborate narrative to please Freud? If the latter, where does Freud's own 'narrative' or 'discourse', psychotherapy, stand?Based on research about the real Wolfman, Castro combines reality and imagination in a vivid tale that has the reading guessing: what is 'the truth'? At times salacious and at times outrageously funny, it questions the idea of the 'myths' that we consctruct to make sense of our world. Double-Wolf takes as its premise the fact that Sergei Wespe, Freud's famous 'Wolfman', was an aspiring writer, and adept at spinning tales. Was what he told Freud 'the truth' about his neurotic condition, or did he spin out an elaborate narrative to please Freud? If the latter, where does Freud's own 'narrative', psychotherapy, stand?
