THEORY & PRACTICE: Michelle de Kretser
THEORY & PRACTICE
by Michelle de Kretser
With precision and talent, de Kretser's new offering is an ode to St Kilda and its bohemian intellectual sphere of the late 80's. Set amongst Melbourne's finest culinary and academic institutions, post-structuralism's 'Theory' and Virigina Woolf's feminisms deconstruct and sway the actions of these imperfect characters. With love triangles and mother daughter turmoil set under a nostalgic hue, this book is contemplative, experimental, gorgeous and wise.
