About This Item
North Ryde. 1992. Angus & Robertson. 1st Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 0207170703. 138 pages. paperback. . keywords: Literature Australia Aborigine. FROM THE PUBLISHER - In these interconnected tales of Aboriginal Dreaming and modern survival, a marngit healer often appears. The marngit gives meaning to alienation and to belonging. Dead spirits and enduring souls take animal forms. Winy-winy bat people, a defiant cockatoo, a resigned crab, and mukul the dingo mother-in-law - among others - remember distant times and recent experiences. They also recall balanda (whites), poisoned flour and exploited sacred sites. This collection is at once surreal, rhythmic and moving. In hypnotic language it uses traditional themes to explore contemporary contradictions. Bralgu, the spirit world, mingles and jars with another world - a world of hospitals and trachoma, of cars breaking down in the desert and rooftops painted green in a brown landscape. inventory #23583 ISBN: 0207170703.
