Drylands

In the dying town of Drylands, Janet Deakin sells papers to lonely locals. At night, in her flat above the newsagency, she attempts to write a novel for a world in which no one reads – `full of people, she envisaged, glaring at a screen that glared glassily back.` `Drylands` is the story of the townsfolk`s harsh, violent lives. Trenchant and brilliant, Thea Astley`s final novel is a dark portrait of outback Australia in decline.
