On Experience

Little books, big ideas.

Australia's much-loved author David Malouf presents a dazzling and illuminating personal essay on the power of imagination-and its effects on the life of a writer-in this first instalment of a collectible new series.

Beautifully packaged as a pocket-sized keepsake, this treasurable approach salvages a popular writer's inner philosophy from the disposability of journals and magazine columns for the sake of his fans and lovers of esoteric literature the world over.
