COLD ENOUGH FOR SNOW Jessica Au
LAST LETTER TO A READER
In Cold Enough for Snow, a daughter and mother travel to Tokyo in autumn. Jessica Au’s novel is at once a careful reckoning and an elegy, that questions whether any of us speak a common language, and what right we have to know another’s inner world.
The final work by internationally acclaimed Australian author Gerald Murnane, reflecting on his career as a writer, and the fifteen books which have led critics to praise him as ‘a genius on the level of Beckett’.
