Description
MUP's new series ""Little Books on Big Themes"" pairs leading Australian thinkers and cultural figures with some of the big themes in life: rage, experience, longing and ecstasy. Each author's 10,000-word take on a chosen theme is presented as an eminently collectable hardback. Blanche d'Alpuget's intimate and revealing meditation on longing examines the creative tension between writing and love. This is a moving tribute to her muse that will surprise and touch readers.
