Corfu A Novel
House in Gastouri for rent for 2 mths. Occupant travelling. Reasonable rent.' In a village on the island of Corfu, alone in the cottage of a man he's never met, a young Australian actor pieces together the strange life story of the writer whose house he's living in. Robert Dessaix's second novel is about friendship, love, the ordinary and extraordinary. Yet at its core is a perfectly placed meditation on literary landscapes - Homer, Sappho, Cavafy, Chekhov - and the part art can play in making our lives beautiful.
