1 2 y separately published work icon Posing in Vast Spaces : A Novel Containing Some Untruths Peter Murk , Fitzroy North : Black Pepper , 2008 Z1510009 2008 single work novel travel humour 'As much a travelling salon as a road novel, Posing in Vast Spaces is an object lesson in the art of digression. Our narrator, a poet, is an aesthete. He is given to frivolity, drinking, ogling, cloudwatching, research into town bakeries and japes. His fellow traveller is a landscape painter, upright and dedicated to his immortal daubs. Their common companion is My Darling Chevrolet. Together they head inland to sing and paint the dead lakes. On the drought-stricken land the locals are resilient in their good humour. Our Dionysian and Apollonian heroes are like vagabond wraiths in comparison.' (Publisher's blurb)
