Abstract
"The back-of-beyond New South Wales hamlet of Whitey's Fall is the home of a secret, solitary boy seeking love, two young men who crave the same woman, and an earnest, bumbling, and provocative government man."[1]
Critical reception
Marion Halligan, writing in The Canberra Times noted that this novel was "the most exciting new book I have read in a long time." She then continued: "It is impossible to categorise such a book. It's farce, it's comedy, it's tragedy; it's grotesque and tender and dreadful. And full of wisdom; little essential drops of it well out of the narrative from time to time."[4]
