Summary:TASMANIAN [Richard Flanagan] has been inspired by his state's past to produce an extraordinary tale of an extraordinary convict. William Buelow Gould's only talent was the painting of fish -- or was it? Was Gould the author of a fantastical autobiography that somehow survived for more than 170 years? Complex phrasing and layered imagery make the reading anything but light, but those who stick with the story will find it rewarding. The publication itself is beautiful, printed in different coloured inks. - H.J.
