Description - The Plains by Gerald Murnane

Twenty years ago, when I first arrived on the plains, I kept my eyes open. I looked for anything in the landscape that seemed to hint at some elaborate meaning behind appearances.

This is the story of the families of the plains - obsessed with their land and history, their culture
and mythology - and of the man who ventured into their world.

First published in 1982, The Plains is a mesmerising work of startling originality. This handsome new
hardback edition is introduced by Ben Lerner, author of the internationally acclaimed novels Leaving the
Atocha Station and 10-04, and a work of criticism, The Hatred of Poetry.
