Peter Carey
Illywhacker - SIGNED
New York: Harper and Row, 1985
First printing
Peter Carey's second novel is an epic love song to the roguish history of his native country.
Australia's propensity for self mockery and self invention are represented in the larger-than-life character of Herbert Badgery, a carnival barker and trickster or 'Illywhacker'.
Signed by the author on the title page, the book also has the blind stamp of a previous owner on the half-title page.
