General note |
Carpentaria starts before time begins.it offers a portrait of a fictional town called desperancein the gulf country of north-western queensland, where whiteshave pushed the aboriginal people to the margins.this is where the protagonists, norm phantom and angel day, live. And their lives are larger than life. They are, at once, the gulliver to the government giants, and they also are the queen of night and the king of the ocean, powerful spirits that entire towns and seas cannot hold down. Norm seduces all the fish in all the oceans, and no man who could resist angel's charms has ever lived.then there's the mayor, stan bruiser, a bigot capable of limitless brutality, with thecredo: 'if you can't use it, eat it, or fuck it, then it's no bloody use to you.'he abets the entry of the mining companythat turns the earth upside down and inside out, bringing out ancient spirits buried with the ore, which then threaten to wipe out the silly town from the face of earth. |
