Bestseller
Western Australian author
"His characters repeatedly hurl themselves at life and lovers. There is something very poignant in these stories."
Newsweek
"His short stories are front-page featurettes transformed by poetic vision."
Time Magazine
Internationally acclaimed Robert Drewe's ground-breaking story collection.
Set among the surf and sandhills of the Australian beach – and the tidal changes of three generations of the Lang family - this bestselling collection of short stories is an Australian classic.
The Bodysurfers vividly evokes the beach, with the scent of the suntan oil, the sting of the sun and a lazy sensuality, all the while hinting at a deep undercurrent of suburban malaise.
"These stories breathe. Taut yet teeming with life, seductive yet stylistically chaste, they are shot through with gritty phrases that catch at one's throat."
The Sydney Morning Herald
"The Bodysurfers is a brilliant book. It is clever, touching and at times desperately funny."
The Canberra Times
