pcoulter 's review for:
True History of the Kelly Gang
by Peter Carey
The style is very Cormac McCarthy (interspersed by newspaper reports) and works quite well. Unfortunately I sort of lost interest as the story ramped up; Kelly's upbringing in poverty and early years caught my attention in a much greater way than he last years as a full time outlaw. I don't know a huge amount about Australian history, and the stuff about the Land Act, squatters and police corruption was new to me.
