The Drover's Wives

Henry Lawsons short story The Drovers Wife is an Australian classic that has sparked interpretations on the page on canvas and on the stage. But it has never been so thoroughly or hilariously reimagined as by Ryan ONeill remixing and revising Lawsons masterpiece in 101 different ways.. The variations include a a pop song a sporting commentary a 1980s computer game an insurance claim a Hollywood movie adaptation a cryptic crossword and even the selection of paint swatches you can see on this back cover.. Inventive and unexpected this is laugh-out-loud literature from the author of the award-winning Their Brilliant Careers.
