David Ireland constructs a world populated by characters who exist outside the comfortable boundaries of mainstream life, their stories unfolding with an intensity that is at once brutal and deeply human, set against the unmistakable backdrop of suburban and industrial Australia.\n\nIreland, a three-time Miles Franklin Award winner, is renowned for his unflinching examination of class, identity, and the underbelly of the Australian experience, and Burn stands as a testament to his singular narrative power. His prose is angular and uncompromising, stripping away sentimentality to reveal the raw nerves beneath — a style that earned him comparisons to the great iconoclasts of 20th-century fiction. For readers who dare to confront uncomfortable truths about society's forgotten corners, this novel promises an experience that will smoulder long after the final page is turned.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49342781325531,"sku":"2026100008944-SECONDHAND","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/2c39c2e6-2e3a-484d-86f5-38099d3197f6.png?v=1790049471","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100008944-secondhand-burn","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
