Rather than a conventional autobiography, the work presents a map of consciousness drawn from physical spaces: the houses, streets, and landscapes of a Queensland boyhood that quietly but irrevocably determined who he would become.\n\nMalouf, one of Australia's most celebrated and decorated literary voices, writes with a poet's precision and a novelist's gift for layered meaning — his prose is spare yet dense with implication, each sentence carrying the weight of lived experience and philosophical reflection. The book stands as both a deeply personal document and a broader argument about how geography and domestic space inscribe themselves upon identity. For readers who have ever wondered how much of themselves was made by the walls around them, Malouf's answer is as unsettling as it is beautiful.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49216191660251,"sku":"2026100009370-SECONDHAND","price":125.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/8f37bf90-6967-470b-9f46-0b023f868fc7.png?v=1788404964","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009370-secondhand-12-edmondstone-street-signed","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
