'The protagonist of Gail Jones’s One Another accidentally leaves the manuscript of the book she is writing on a train. Helen is a PhD student from Tasmania who is living in Cambridge while she researches and writes a thesis on Joseph Conrad, the Ukrainian-born mariner and writer who eventually settled in England. Neither a conventional scholarly account of Conrad’s work nor a true biography, the manuscript slips away from Helen’s possession just as it slips from the moorings of conventional categories of form.' (Introduction)
