It Took Me Almost Six Months to Get Through Carpentaria by Alexis Wright
Great book, Could’ve been shorter. That would be one way to describe Carpentaria by Alexis Wright. Written in a lyrical, almost dreamlike prose, and mixing elements of mythology and magical realism, you will want to be in the right frame of mind to tackle this 519 page epic.
"In a good bookroom you feel in some mysterious way that you are absorbing the wisdom contained in all the books through your skin, without even opening them."
