Description 248 pages ; 18 cm Series The writer and the city Writer and the city. Summary "After living in New York for ten years novelist Peter Carey returned home to Sydney with the idea of capturing its ebullient character via the four elements. 'I would never seek to define Manhattan by asking my New York friends for stories of Earth and Air and Fire and Water,' he writes, 'but that is exactly what was in my mind as I walked through immigration at Kingsford Smith International Airport.' But Carey's friends turn out to be anarchic characters each of whom has his own very individual way of story-telling."--BOOK JACKET Analysis Autobiography Description and travel Sydney Notes Map on endpapers Subject Carey, P.
