Near the Refinery is a taut, politically charged novel that examines the corrosive effects of industrialization and ideological conflict on personal identity and community life. Set against the backdrop of a working-class suburb overshadowed by a looming refinery, Barry Hill constructs a narrative of psychological tension and social disintegration. The protagonist, caught between radical activism and personal disillusionment, navigates a landscape marked by environmental decay and moral ambiguity. Hill presents a stark vision of modern Australia, where the promises of progress clash with the realities of alienation and betrayal. This is a novel that confronts the reader with the cost of conviction and the fragility of belief.
