Cambria Press Book Review! The Experimental Fiction of Murray Bail is a “thorough overview” and a “sound guide”!

Cambria Press congratulates Michael Ackland on the outstanding review of his book, The Experimental Fiction of Murray Bail, which JASAL praised for it being a “thorough review of this major Australian artist” that fills the long-overdue need for an extended study. The review also encourages that “devotees might especially take up his newest novel, The Voyage (2012), and apply their insight to this text.”

This book is in the Cambria Australian Literature Series by Susan Lever.
