OPIS: 

In Melbourne in the late 1940s, a young conservative poet named Christopher Chubb decides to teach his country a lesson about pretension and authenticity. But over the ensuing years his audacious act of literary ventriloquism takes on a much darker resonance. Having fled Melbourne for the seedy, sweaty streets of Kuala Lumpur, Chubb finds himself, just as Frankenstein was, haunted and pursued by his own creation. 'Unfailingly, shamelessly entertaining.' Philip Hensher, The Times 'Confidently brilliant.' John Updike, The New Yorker 'In a beautifully crafted piece of storytelling, Peter Carey has produced an immensely powerful work that will resonate for generations.' Nick Groom, Independent
