The story of twin brothers that unfolds through half a century. Inextricably intertwined are the lives of Waldo, perceived as reasonable and competent, and Arthur, perceived as a blundering, loving, innocent half-wit. A work that testifies to the beauty and contortion of the spirit and shows how the two sides of man's nature form a totality. The author is the best-known of Australian writers. His many works include 'Voss' and 'The Eye of the Storm' and he has won the Nobel Prize For Literature. First printed in the UK in 1966.
