Böcker av Mark MacLean

John Hughes writes in The Idea of Home that 'What we feel homesick for . . . is not a place itself, but the unrecoverable moment of leaving that place, and the fact that it is never the same place to which we return.'These stories by Mark MacLean are about the idea of home, our sense of place and about landscape and memory. Whether we're in the deserts of Australia or the north of England, we long for the places we are not. We envy the world traveller and the ninety-year-old living in the home she was born in with equal measure. We cherish the places known as much as the places imagined and the places remembered. The new landscapes are the old landscapes revisited.This collection includes 'Unte nthenharenye?' which was a runner up in the The University of Sydney's David Harold Tribe Fiction Award Mark MacLean is an award-winning writer who lives in Lightning Ridge, New South Wales.
