Book description
If you are not a citizen of Voorstand, you may not be familiar with
the strange case of Tristan Smith and his illegal appropriation of
Bruder Mouse. Even if you are a citizen of faraway Efica, you will
only have heard rumours about the juggling, the somersaulting, the
Burro Plasse tunnel, and the motel on the border . . . Here, for the
first time, is the truth about Tristan Smith. This fully annotated
edition follows Tristan's career from his birth in the Republic of
Efica in the year 371 to the present day.
Peter Carey received the Booker Prize for Oscar and Lucinda and again
for True History of the Kelly Gang. His other honors include the
Commonwealth Prize and the Miles Franklin Award. Born in Australia, he
has lived in New York City for 20 years.
