A Million Windows by Gerald Murnane

$26.99 AUD

Category: ATLAS & REFERENCE

"The house of fiction," wrote Henry James, "has . . . not one window, but a million." In this, his latest work, Gerald Murnane, one of Australia's most acclaimed contemporary authors, takes these words as his starting point, and asks: Who, exactly, are that house's residents, and what do they see from t heir respective rooms?
