A LIFETIME ON CLOUDS
Adrian Sherd is a teenage boy in Melbourne of the 1950sthe last years before television and the family car changed suburbia forever.
Earnest and isolated, tormented by his hormones and his religious devotion, Adrian dreams of elaborate orgies with American film stars, and of marrying his sweetheart and fathering eleven children by her. He even dreams a history of the world as a chronicle of sexual frustration.
A LIFETIME ON CLOUDS is funny, honest and sweetly told: a less ribald, Catholic Australian Portnoy's Complaint.
Gerald Murnane is the author of ten works of fiction and has also written a memoir and a collection of essays. In 1999 Gerald Murnane won the Patrick White Award.
