12 Edmondstone Street by David Malouf
David Malouf’s autobiographical novel 12 Edmondstone Street is largely devoted to the description of his childhood home located at 12 Edmondstone Street in South Brisbane. ...
In the first section of the novel, Malouf reconstructs his childhood through the descriptions of the various rooms and passages, items of furniture, small possessions, significant events and the inhabitants of his house on 12 Edmondstone Street. ...
In the second section - A Place in Tuscany, Malouf describes his second home in Tuscany in a completely different voice to the one he used to describe 12 Edmondstone Street. ...
Despite being Malouf’s autobiographic novel, 12 Edmondstone Street does not give a complete account of his life story. ...
12 Edmondstone Street, after all, only describes an average weatherboard home during World War 2, an ordinary house in a village in Tuscany, a common vacation to a foreign land and the usual train ride from Brisbane to Sydney. ...
Renowned for great works such as Fly Away Peter, An Imaginary Life, and The Conversations at Curlow Creek, Malouf’s best work is perhaps the one about himself, 12 Edmondstone Street.
