Robert Dessaix
House in Gastouri for rent for 2 mths. Occupant travelling. Reasonable rent.&#39;In a village on the island of Corfu, alone in the cottage of a man he&#39;s never met, a young Australian actor pieces together the strange life story of the writer whose house he&#39;s living in. As he explores his surroundings and makes new friends in Corfu, his own life begins to appear to him like an illuminating shadow-play of his absent host&#39;s.,Set in the physical landscapes of the Greek islands, Adelaide and the suburbs of London, Robert Dessaix&#39;s second novel is about friendship, love, the ordinary and extraordinary. Yet at its core is a perfectly placed meditation on literary landscapesâ€“Homer, Sappho, Cavafy and Chekhovâ€“and the part art can play in making our lives beautiful.
