Wrappings

The most influential book of stories that shaped the new Australian women’s writing is back. Wrappings was first published in 1974, and as Helen Garner wrote at the time: I liked Wrappings… The writing is highly charged, painstakingly wroiught, often difficult, opaque, like a person talking close in the dark, in an urgent intense whisper, saying something you can’t quite grasp the sense of. With a new introduction by Jane Grant, out of print for 40 years, this still has the power to shock, and to wonder.
