Publisher Notes
Now available in paperback--an urgent generational novel by a talented Australian writer. When two frustrated artists take jobs at a remote weather station in Australia's Northern Territory--in hopes of finding solitude and inspiration--their journey affords an unflinching, original, and at times, hilarious look at what it means to grow up in the world today.
Media Reviews
"In that it fails so spectacularly to live up to its own plot potential, '1988' should probably be considered a kind of antinovel. Mr. McGahan's triumph, however, is in having brilliantly managed to avoid the cliche of the brutally realistic novel of boredom....The end product is hugely satisfying."
