The Glass Canoe: Text Classics



Buy from…

Introduced by Nicolas Rothwell
Winner, Miles Franklin Literary Award 1976

On hot days we jumped fully clothed into our bottomless beer glasses and pushed off from shore without a backward look. Heading for the deep, where it was calm and cool.

Meat Man is a regular at the Southern Cross pub in Sydney. With his tribe he sits and drinks and watches as life spirals around him. David Ireland's novel tells his stories, about the pub, its patrons and their women, about the brutal, tender and unexpected places his glass canoe takes him.

About the author

David Ireland

David Ireland was once a boy weakened by lethal asthma attacks. He was rendered dumb by a negligent doctor, was bullied at school and was made an example of by teachers who predicted he would never achieve anything. Those teachers could not have been more wrong, because now David's Wildlife Man films are seen by millions of people around the world and his dream to highlight the plight of wild animals fighting to survive in the modern world is now a reality. His Crocodile Man doco was a global success in the early 1990s.
