Well, Peter Carey isn't an Opera House lover for sure wink emoticon
"He had a cooktop in his room so he could have spaghetti and grill sausages and lamb chops and, at this particular moment, launder his underwear which ballooned from the boiling saucepan in shivering dome-like tents suggestive of soap bubbles and the Sydney Opera House"
Just finished reading Peter Carey's latest novel Amnesia which turned out to be a virtuoso act of storytelling with complex layers and switches punctuating a narrative, unifying political history with saga of love and environmentalism with technology as a paradoxical means of protest. Carey's narrator changed gears from a first person point of view to a third person omniscient one till the omniscience broke apart and the first person staged a return at the end. Overall, a racy political thriller which also offers an oblique commentary on the new technological powers of writing to change the world as well as the world-wide-web.
