  • "Ranging across the breadth of the Australian continent and a cenmtury of its history, David Malouf gives us some of his finest writing to date. A small boy grows closer to his mother's GI boyfriend while still waiting for his 'missing in action' father to return; a man is a victim of a nightmare encounter on a dark street; a prostitute, looks for some comfort of her own. Tender, warm and often shocking, this is a truly unforgettable collection."
  • "Here are nine haunting stories from the award-winning author of Remembering Babylon, in which history and geography, as well as the past and the present, combine and often collide, illuminating the landscape and revealing the character of Australia. An eleven-year-old boy sees his father in his own elongated shadow only to realize that he will not return from the war. In a parting moment, a young woman hired to "marry" vacationing soldiers, grasps the weight of the word "woe." When a failing farmer senselessly murders a wandering aborigine, he imperils his son but discovers in the spring of sympathy that follows the power to influence others. Wise and moving, startling and lyrical, Dream Stuff reverberates with the unpredictability of human experience, revealing people who are shaped by the mysterious rhythms of nature as well as the ghosts of their own pasts. From the Trade Paperback edition."
