Description - The Glass Canoe: Text Classics by David Ireland
Winner of the Miles Franklin Award 1976. Introduction by Nicolas Rothwell. Meat Man is a regular at the Southern Cross pub in Sydney. With his tribe he sits and drinks and watches as life spirals around him. David Ireland's novel tells his stories, about the pub, its patrons and their women, about the brutal, tender and unexpected places his glass canoe takes him. 'In a flash of inspired vision David Ireland has perceived that the real centre of Australian life...is the pub...which the novelist demonstrates and enlarges upon with great verve and menace and macabre humour.' National Times
