Book summaryIn this Australian novel, Gordon and his friend Wayne flee their boring lives in Brisbane and become meteorologists on the remote northern promontory of Cape Don, where the weather has to be checked obsessively every three hours. 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." |
