David Malouf presents twelve precisely observed tales set against the backdrop of Australia and Europe, where characters navigate the tensions between memory and desire, intimacy and isolation, the familiar and the utterly foreign — all rendered in prose of crystalline beauty.\n\nMalouf's signature style — spare yet luminous, deceptively simple yet rich with implication — transforms everyday encounters into profound meditations on identity, belonging, and the invisible threads that connect us to place and to one another. As one of the pre-eminent figures of contemporary Australian literature, his short fiction carries the same gravitas and quiet power as his celebrated novels, revealing character through gesture, silence, and the weight of the unspoken. Antipodes leaves the reader with the unsettling and exhilarating sense that the world just beneath the surface of daily life is stranger, and far more alive, than it first appears.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49219869999323,"sku":"2026100009368-SECONDHAND","price":100.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/45dcc659-09cb-408f-8fe7-d88913017be4.png?v=1788482996","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009368-secondhand-antipodes-stories-by-david-malouf-signed","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
