Remembering Babylon: A Novel
ABOUT
THE BOOK
Set in the middle of the nineteenth century, in colonial Australia, Remembering Babylon tells the story of a white man, Gemmy Fairley, who has lived with the aborigines for sixteen years. He stumbles onto a family of white settlers and is taken into their community. In this wonderfully lyrical novel, David Malouf deals with issues of identity, cultural difference, and colonialism, through telling the stories of Gemmy, the family who take him in, and the settler society and its distrust of a white man who is not a white man.
