Abstract

David Malouf’s new novel ’Ransom’ engages with enduring questions posed by the ancient Greeks, in particular with Homer’s ’Iliad’ and the relationships of King Priam and Achilles and of Hector and Patroclus. Malouf considers ’Ransom’ with reference to the development of his work as a whole, including the now classic titles ’An Imaginary Life’, ’Johnno’ and ’Remembering Babylon’, as well as the autobiographical ’12 Edmonstone Street’ and his short story collection ’Every Move you Make’.
