Uphill Runner
Condition remarks:
Condition: Good to fair. Paperback. Page Condition: Good - possible tanning. Markings: possible previous owner inscription.
A work of modern Australian fiction, Uphill Runner by James McQueen is a quietly powerful novel that captures the struggles of ordinary lives against the vast, indifferent Australian landscape. McQueen, praised by Geoffrey Dutton as one of Australia's most mature and accomplished writers of fiction, brings a sharp, precise prose style to bear on themes of isolation, resilience, and the quiet desperation that can define rural existence. The narrative unfolds with a measured intensity, drawing readers into a world where characters are tested by both the land and each other. McQueen's writing is spare yet resonant, delivering emotional depth without sentimentality, cementing his place as a significant voice in Australian literature.
