The Performance

Zusatztext Intimate, poignant and darkly funny . . . Thomas has an astute eye for social inequality, and how "wealth generates wealth, abundance delivers abundance". Her most impressive feat is to portray the novel itself as a playscript during the play's interval . . . Much like Beckett, Thomas is more interested in the untangling of inner truths than in external incident, and her novel is quietly transformational . As the curtain falls on both the book and the performance, it is us and the characters alike who are changed in thought, if not yet in deed Informationen zum Autor Claire Thomas is a Melbourne writer. She holds a PhD from the University of Melbourne where she teaches literary studies and creative writing. Her award-winning debut novel was Fugitive Blue .
