Winner of the 2001 Booker Prize, this novel by the author of Oscar and Lucinda (another Booker winner) tells the story of Ned Kelly, a 19th century Australian champion of his people and a man for all nations. The son of Irish Immigrants, he was considered a thief and a killer in the eyes of the authorities, but a persecuted scapego in the eyes of his fellow countrymen. Kelly speaks in Carey's new novel as if from beyond the grave and with the power of legend.
