101 reintepretations of a classic Australian short story
101 reinterpretations of a classic Australian short story ‘A work of virtuosic flippancy tempered by considerable intellect’ – TLS SHORTLISTED: Queensland Literary Awards SHORTLISTED: Russell Prize for Humour Writing Henry Lawson’s short story The Drover’s 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, re-imagined as by Ryan O’Neill, remixing and revising Lawson’s masterpiece in 101 different ways. The variations include a pop song, a sporting commentary, a 1980s computer game, an insurance claim, a Hollywood movie adaptation, a cryptic crossword and even a selection of paint swatches printed on the back cover. Inventive and unexpected, this is laugh-out-loud literature from the author of the award-winning Their Brilliant Careers
