Trap
Condition remarks:
Condition: Good to fair. Paperback. Page Condition: Good - possible tanning. Markings: possible previous owner inscription.
Winner of the Miles Franklin Award for Best Australian Novel, Trap is a darkly comic satirical novel by Peter Mathers that cuts to the bone of mid-twentieth century Australian society. The narrative chronicles the chaotic life of Jack Trap, a half-Aboriginal drifter whose turbulent journey across Australia serves as a scathing indictment of racial prejudice, bureaucratic absurdity, and social hypocrisy. Written in a raw, energetic style, the novel presents a fragmented, stream-of-consciousness portrait of a man at war with a society that refuses to accommodate him. Hailed by the Australian Book Review as proof that a terrible talent is born, Mathers' debut remains one of the most subversive and provocative works in the Australian literary canon.
