Rubbed edges.Condition remarks: Tanning on block - pages otherwise clean and bright. Mylar layer on jacket. A bold and ambitious foray into the realms of mythic reimagining, Thorskald stands as a testament to Tony Morphett's versatility and creative depth. Moving away from the contemporary Australian settings that defined much of his earlier work, Morphett constructs a visceral world where the weight of legend meets the grit of historical realism. The narrative follows the titular protagonist through a landscape fraught with ancient tensions, exploring the heavy burden of destiny and the often violent collision between individual will and the dictates of tribal lore. Morphett's prose in this work is strikingly muscular, mirroring the rugged and unforgiving environment he describes. He delves into the psychological landscape of his characters with a sophisticated modern lens, stripping away the romanticism of the epic to reveal the raw human impulses beneath. Thorskald is an evocative exploration of power, the construction of heroism, and the enduring power of myth, marking a significant and intellectually stimulating contribution to the genre by one of Australia's most celebrated screenwriters and novelists.

Hardback. Tony Morphett, Jacaranda Press. Edition: First editionCondition remarks:Book: Good Jacket: Worn/faded, no tearsPages: Good Markings: Previous ownerCondition remarks: Foxing on block - does not extend internally. Jacket protected by mylar sleeve. Pages clean and bright. Shelf wear.A sharp and irreverent excursion into the absurdities of local governance, Mayor's Nest stands as a quintessential piece of mid-century Australian satire. Set within the fictional but uncannily recognizable corridors of a municipal council, the narrative follows the chaotic political maneuverings and social posturing of characters who are as ambitious as they are inept. Tony Morphett masterfully deconstructs the pomposity of small-town authority, spinning a web of bureaucratic entanglements and civic rivalries that escalate into a comedic tour de force. Morphett's prose is characterized by its quicksilver wit and a keen ear for the linguistic quirks of the Australian vernacular. This early work showcases the burgeoning talent that would later make him a titan of Australian screenwriting, particularly in his ability to ground high-concept farce in a believable, if exaggerated, social reality. Mayor's Nest is more than a mere period comedy; it is a sophisticated critique of the ego and artifice inherent in public life, rendered with the sophisticated cynicism and linguistic flair typical of the 1960s literary avant-garde.
