SECONDHAND BOOKS | Australian Fiction

Addresses the problem of growing old and the 'warts of the soul' which, if gouged out, ruin the flesh. Presenting a peeled potato, a dance in the kitchen and a visit to the aged mother of a childhood friend, this book considers our struggle, our efforts to achieve aesthetic perfection and suggests some resolutions.

1987, First edition. A very good copy with light tanning of the pages.
