The Unusual Life of Tristan Smith
If you are not a citizen of Voorstand, you may not be familiar with the strange case of Tristan Smith and his illegal appropriation of Bruder Mouse. Even if you are a citizen of faraway Efica, you will only have heard rumours about the juggling, the somersaulting, the Burro Plasse tunnel, and the motel on the border...Here, for the first time, is the truth about Tristan Smith. This fully annotated edition follows Tristan's career from his birth in the Republic of Efica in the year 371 to the present day.
Unusual Life of Tristan Smith
The Booker Prize-winning author of Oscar and Lucinda and The Tax Inspector now gives readers a hero, the malformed but ferociously wilful Tristan Smith, who becomes the object of the world's byzantine political intrigues, even as he attains stardom in a bizarre Sirkus that is part passion play and part Mortal Kombat.
The Unusual Life of Tristan Smith
Severely afflicted, doomed never to be taller than three foot six, Tristan Smith faces death and danger from the first moment of his energetic and ambitious life. Set in the nations of Voorstand and Efica.
Tristan Crazy
The voices of the ten poems forming the sequence Tristan Crazy are Ken Smith's contemporary versions of the ancient miseries of love, betrayal, adultery. They echo the lovers in their three-cornered triangle: Mark, King of Cornwall, sends his servant Tristan to Ireland to fetch Isolde to his marriage bed; Tristan returns with her, the pair having fallen, as they say, 'in. love'; their affair continues long after her marriage to his master. So it goes. That they've drunk the love potion intended for her wedding night is merely the mirror of 'we couldn't help ourselves'. Their tupping, lies, guilt and old grief form a tale neither young nor old: what they endure as love Mark suffers as humiliation and betrayal. Tristan, exiled to Brittany and married to the other Isolde, is in his own turn lied to by her, and dies; Isolde of Cornwall dies beside him; the lovers are buried: sex, power and death are as ever each others' shady companions. Serve the buggers right. - SAM KENTTristan Crazy was the first Bloodaxe publication. The cover description was written by Ken Smith. The sequence was later reprinted in The Poet Reclining: Selected Poems 1962-1980 (1982) and Collected Poems (2018).

Fabulating Beauty
Peter Carey is one of Australia’s finest creative writers, much admired by both literary critics and a worldwide reading public. While academia has been quick to see his fictions as exemplars of postcolonial and postmodern writing strategies, his general readership has been captivated by his deadpan sense of humour, his quirky characters, the outlandish settings and the grotesqueries of his intricate plots. After three decades of prolific writing and multiple award-winning, Carey stands out in the world of Australian letters as designated heir to Patrick White. Fabulating Beauty pays tribute to Carey’s literary achievement. It brings together the voices of many of the most renowned Carey...
