'For thirty-nine years Harry Joy has been the quintessential good guy. But one morning Harry has a heart attack on his suburban front lawn, and, for the space of nine minutes, he becomes a dead guy. And although he is resuscitated, he will never be the same. For, as Peter Carey makes abundantly clear in this darkly funny novel, death is sometimes a necessary prelude to real life.' (From the author's website.)

2 6 y separately published work icon Daimon E. L. Grant Watson , London : Jonathan Cape , 1925 Z36780 1925 single work novel Roslynn Haynes comments: 'The Desert Horizon and its sequel Daimon closely mirror Watson's own inner struggle to come to terms with the desert as a metaphysical experience. The two central figures, Martin O'Brian (who came to the desert as a child of eight and identifies wholly with it) and his English wife Maggie (who arrived in Australia as a young woman and finds it appalling) re-enact in their vexed relationship the inner turmoil of Watson's alternating fascination with and revulsion from the land.' Roslynn Haynes, 'Dying of Landscape: E.L. Grant Watson and the Australian Desert', Australian Literary Studies 19.1 (1999): 35).
