About

Peter Carey in conversation woth Steohen Romei, Literary Editor for The Weekend Australian.

Two-times winner of the Booker Prize, Peter Carey delivers his most ambitious novel since True History of the Kelly Gang. A Long Way From Home is a celebration and interrogation of the Australia of Peter’s childhood. Carey takes us on a wild ride around the country in 1954 by way of the famous Redex car trial, during which our protagonist, Willy Bachhuber, learns the poignant truth of his troubled past.

It’s a tender and wonderfully wry portrait of Australia in the 1950s. This high speed story starts in one way, and then takes you some place else. It’s often funny, more so as the world gets stranger, and always a page-turner, even as you learn a history these characters never knew themselves.
