Peter Carey
hits a good number of solid beats in his 30
Days in Sydney: A Wildly Distorted Account.
The book is written from Carey’s perspective as an expat Australian (he
now lives in New York) so it is has the detached yet attached feel of the
writer both at home with his people and land and yet alienated.
This perch
enables Carey to visit old friends and landscapes and make new connections and interpretations
about the Australian past, present and future.
As a travel
book in this genre, from this angle, Carey delivers what he promises as a writer.
