Replacing the battles of heroes and gods with the struggle of mortal humans with time and space, Wimmera reinvents the epic poem. All the classical elements are there but they are now democratic, and ours. The narrator's anonymous informant knows a thing or two. Objective and personal, learned and demotic, local and vast, Wimmera is the history of a region and seedbed of a vision where 'the bunyip indeed lays down with the manticore'.
