Make Much of Time and a Long Way from Home review
A review of two Australian books, Patrick Davidson’s Make Much of Time and Desmond O Grady’s Long Way from Home. Davidson’s novel about Sydney academics and a young man’s emotional trials is ambitious but too wordy and slow. O Grady’s short story collection about exiles, priests, artists, and foreigners in Rome is intelligent though emotionally narrow. Both are well produced and worth reading, with O Grady assisted by the Commonwealth Literary Fund.
