3.0 out of 5 stars
Yes, a master writer, but often just plain boring., Dec 28 2008
By Patrick Alexander - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Complete Stories (Hardcover)
There's an assurance to Malouf's writing. He knows he's good. It's not in question. He knows he's got profound insight into the human condition. Also not in question. There's so much to applaud about this great Australian writer, but the assurance means the writing also lacks the desperation to impel a story along, or the hunger that could give it a cutting edge. He's the kind of writer that knows how to produce flawless pieces, but doesn't know when he's being boring. As an Australian I love his Australianess, and for those of you wanting to know more about this paradise down here (I'm being only half ironic) there's no place better to go. I just wish 'he' didn't think he was so good. Read his Novella 'An Imaginary Life', if you want to see him at his best. A masterpiece, pure and simple. These stories just make me want to read that again.

So moving only read one at a time, Jan 17 2008
By K. Dwyer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Complete Stories (Hardcover)
Malouf's stories are so quietly intense you can be breathless at any ending. Savor each with a long pause in between. I used the library but need my own copy!
Listmania!
