A writer questions the architecture of words, struggling to capture his ideas
before they are lost; a husband excavating beneath his house becomes mesmerised
by silence and disappears in search of solitude; a lighthouse keeper dreams that
he is a man dreaming that he is the keeper of a lighthouse. Magnificent in its
scope and imagery, David Brooks' mastery of the written word is eclipsed in this
thought-provoking collection. Both evocative and experimental, Brooks' stories
conjure fragments of memory and time, capturing streetscapes and heartscapes in
a mosaic-style splendour. Lyrical and perceptive, brave and illuminating,
Napoleon's Roads explores the richness of language and the possibilities of
expression, while exemplifying some of the most sophisticated, polished and
beautiful contemporary literature in Australia today.
