Child's Play

"Already [the main character] sees the photographs of the piazza where the assassination will take place as those of a historic site; he imagines it in newsprint and news photograph, media which distort and deaden an event but also in some ways create it; he sees himself as the hand of fate toward which a lifes work has been leading, as a figure in the writers biography....Malouf is something of a primitive narrator, rough around the edges, but he is also a deeply serious writer, not to be taken up lightly...[and] a genuine artist."Malouf, David is the author of 'Child's Play' with ISBN 9780375701412 and ISBN 0375701419.
