[Modern Literature] UNCORRECTED PROOF. Octavo (21 x 15cm), pp.[6]; 337; [21], 'A Letter to Our Son'. Cream softcovers lettered in black to covers and spine. Expected publication date of '21 August 1995' and price '£14.99' to back. Fine, as new. Peter Carey is an Australian author, who is only one of five authors to win the Booker Prize twice in his career. This is a collection of his short stories and includes titles such as 'Do You Love Me?', 'The Puzzling Nature of Blue', and 'Conversations with Unicorns' which portrays the vulnerability of the species due to the lack of respect humanity provides them. In many of his stories, Carey writes in a fragmented style often separating his prose with numbered sections.
