Classic Australian Novels - The Book Show special series
Australia has an extraordinary literary tradition, which in the flurry of new releases, often gets lost. ABC Radio National's The Book Show is dedicating a special week to five classic Australian novels. From Monday 10 August, each program features one particular book and investigates it thoroughly. The five novels will be familiar to many of you, but each one reveals new secrets as it's re-discovered. The novels include: His Natural Life (Marcus Clarke); The Mystery of a Hansom Cab (Fergus Hume); The Solid Mandala (Patrick White); The Multiple Effects of Rainshadow (Thea Astley); and, Capricornia (Xavier Herbert).
