Peter Goldsworthy
"Stylish, imaginative, poignant, and hugely unsettling."?The Australian
"Goldsworthy's greatest achievement. . . . Brave, brilliant, as intellectually challenging as it is playful, it is testament to a restless and unpredictable imagination."?James Bradley
J. J. is back living at home, unemployed and drifting after a messy divorce. Then he is offered a job teaching Sign to Eliza. His new pupil is smart, sensitive, attractive?and a gorilla recently liberated from a medical research laboratory by animal rights activists.
First published in 1995, the third novel by the acclaimed writer Peter Goldsworthy is unique in Australian literature: a dazzling, moving story about scientific experimentation and ethics, language, and love.
