#BookReport for March. One Another was the best book I read, but Something Wild and Wonderful was the one I enjoyed most.

This is a very serious book, which would usually put me off, but I read it in one sitting & I‘m going to be thinking about it for a while. The narrative switches between the experiences of Helen, an Australian at Cambridge in 1992 doing PhD on Joseph Conrad, & episodes from Conrad‘s life & work. I think it is, in part, a meditation on dislocation & associated undercurrents of violence. I think it will be on a few prize lists. #ozfiction
