Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Once again displaying Peter Carey's extraordinary flair for language, "Theft" is a love poem of a very different kind. Ranging from the rural wilds of Australia to Manhattan via Tokyo - and exploring themes of art, fraud, responsibility and redemption - this is a great novel which will also make you laugh out loud.

Publisher's description:

Told by the twin voices of the artist Butcher Bones and his 'damaged 220-pound brother' Hugh, this book recounts their adventures and troubles after Butcher's plummeting prices and spiralling drink problem force them to retreat to northern New South Wales. This work explores themes of art, fraud, responsibility, and redemption.
