Theory & Practice by Michelle de Kretser review – art v reality
74% Informative
Michelle de Kretser’s seventh novel, her first since the Folio prize-winning Scary Monsters , opens conventionally enough.
We’re introduced to an Australian geologist, who is travelling in the pristine Swiss Alps of the late 1950s .
She is, she believes, a “modern woman’, fully committed to feminism; but this self-construction offers no defences against a flood of unsisterly feelings.
In Theory & Practice , Michelle de Kretser picks and plucks at the notion of truth’ in literature.
She exposes the lie to us, but permits us to love it anyway.
Her excellence lies in the fact that she manages to make a novel that effectively acts as a deconstruction of the novel form feel like a pleasure.
