    y separately published work icon The Bath Fugues Brian Castro , Artarmon : Giramondo Publishing , 2009 Z1590593 2009 selected work novella The Bath Fugues is composed of three interwoven novellas, the first centred on an ageing art forger; the second on a Portuguese poet, opium addict and collector; and the third told by a well-connected doctor, with a cabinet of venom, and an art gallery on the north Queensland coast. Around these characters circle others, in the contrapuntal manner suggested by the book's title. Some are related, some fugitive, some like the essayist Montaigne, the poet Baudelaire or the philosopher Benjamin, enter the story from the past. Motifs recur - baths, bicycles, clocks, addiction, the counterfeit - deepening the lines of association and inheritance which bind their lives, and giving weight to the friendships thrust upon them. Artarmon : Giramondo Publishing , 2009
