Very Good in Dustjacket. 0671492411. 288 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Fred Marcellino. keywords: Oceania Australia Literature Women World Literature. DESCRIPTION - Moving through the landscape of postcolonial Southeast Asia, from the green cricket lawns of an old British men's club now peopled with the new colonials - Chinese businessmen, Indian doctors, and assorted Westerners - to the squalid, disease-ridden camps of the boat people, TURTLE BEACH is a masterful portrayal of the clash of cultures - East and West. The stunning American debut of a highly acclaimed young Australian writer, this award-winning novel, set in Australia and Malaysia, is the story of Judith Wilkes, a journalist who goes to Kuala Lumpur to report on the plight of the boat people. Through a narrative that is sensuous and richly textured, the novel chronicles Judith's journey of discovery - of the mysterious and turbulent Southeast Asian land and its people, a racial and ethnic stew threatening to boil over, and of herself. In Kuala Lumpur Judith encounters a variety of characters: Minou, the quixotic, seductive French Vietnamese wife of the Australian ambassador, who fascinates Judith and lures her into her game; Kanan, the magnetic Indian physician who becomes the object of Judith's infatuation; and Ralph Hamilton, the pale, ambitious diplomat who equivocates in the face of the appalling horror of the refugee camps. Through a skein of imagery and description that is powerful and evocative. d'Alpuget creates an almost palpable Malaysia - steamy, languorous, sensual, with a vibrant and colorful landscape and culture. She traces Judith's confrontations with her cultural heritage, her sexuality and her freedom as a woman as the novel moves inexorably to its tragic climax on the coast of East Malaysia. TURTLE BEACH is an extraordinary novel, a compelling tale of passion, and a personal odyssey as well as a beautiful rendering of a culture in turmoil. inventory #2324.…

Very Good in Dustjacket. 0671620053. 256 pages. hardcover. keywords: Oceania Australia Literature Women World Literature. DESCRIPTION - Blanche d'Alpuget's novels have been praised as being 'as politically and morally complex as those of Graham Greene' (The Wall Street Journal). Her latest, White Eye, now takes its place alongside d'Alpuget's other distinguished novels, Turtle Beach, winner of the PEN Golden Jubilee Award, and Winter in Jerusalem, as an example of her remarkable storytelling gifts. When Diana Pembridge comes upon the dead body of her nemesis, Carolyn Williams, near the high security biotechnology research center where Carolyn worked, scientific and sexual morality become entangled in an unfolding drama of scandal and corruption. As the official investigation into Carolyn's death proceeds, Diana, a rancher's daughter with a passion for birds of prey, seeks the answers to the mysteries of the research center and its connection to Carolyn's death. The questions she raises threaten the research of John Parker, chief scientist, who will do anything to protect his hidden agenda - which involves an international ring of smugglers dealing in laboratory animals. Their aim is power, power they will gain by deploying 'white eye,' a virus fatal to animals - and humans. Set against the haunting backdrop of the Australian bush, White Eye pictures predators and prey, scientists and environmentalists, Aborigines and whites, all in dramatic conflict - under the watchful eye of the giant eagle that Diana is painfully rehabilitating, a soaring metaphor of her own spiritual journey. White Eye lays bare the moral turmoil of our times: the biotechnology revolution that is in direct opposition to the animal rights movement and characters who are caught in a web of passions and politics. inventory #20818.…
