 | THE BOATBUILDER'S NOSE Colin Macpherson At last, a novel about an Australian tradesman, unabashedly written in the language of the workplace, and set not in either of the conventional rural or urban environments but in the land of the coastal dweller. Derek Saddler is a boatbuilder. He swears profusely and he's good at his trade. But, as with many tradeys, his work squeezes out the time he has available for his wife and kids. In the midst of this dilemma he has a serious fall while working on a boat, and when he regains consciousness he becomes aware of a strange new perceptive ability – he is able to smell and interpret smells in ways that seem extraordinary. Of course, there are consequences – some dire, and some…not so dire. | $24.95 |
