Guardian Bookshop Notes:

An utterly contemporary new work of fiction from one of our greatest writers and deepest thinkers, double Booker winner and Nobel Laureate. It deals with the sense of moral unease felt by many living in Western democracies, through the figure of an eminent Australian writer of political essays.

Publisher's description:

A 72-year-old Australian writer encounters an alluring woman in his apartment block. When he discovers she is 'between jobs' he claims failing eyesight and offers her work typing up his manuscript. Anya has no interest in politics but the job provides a distraction, as does the writer's evident and not unwelcome attraction toward her.
