Collected Stories by Victor Kelleher
This collection contains two of Victor Kelleher's powerful books of interwoven stories, 'The Traveller' and 'Micky Darlin', as well as previously uncollected pieces.
Taken together, they lead us on a journey: one which moves through the guilt-ridden, violent terrain of Central and Southern Africa, then shifts to an Australia which has yet to learn the lessons of pity and compassion; and ends where in a sense it began - in the raw, all-too-human world of the poor expatriate Irish living in London in the forties.
Vivid, moving, and always finely crafted, this collection reveals those diverse qualities which have won Victor Kelleher major awards as a writer for both adults and children.
