Publisher's Synopsis
"Every new novel by Jen Craig is cause for celebration. They are a reminder that literature is still being written in the English language.
In Wall, her brilliant third novel, Jen Craig deepens her proliferative style of self-examination as her narrator tries to contend with that most heart wrenching of questions: how to dispose of your parents'belongings after they die?"
MAURO JAVIER CÁRDENAS, Aphasia
A woman returns to Australia to clear out her father's house, with an eye to transforming the contents into an art installation in the tradition of the revered Chinese artist Song Dong. What she hasn't reckoned with is the tangle of jealousies, resentments, and familial complications that she had thought, in leaving the country, she had put behind her-a tangle that ensnares her before she arrives.
