A comic, sprawling Australian classic told through the voice of Herbert Badgery, a 139-year-old confidence trickster, aviator, car salesman, and master of tall stories. Overflowing with invention, lies, jokes, and strange episodes, Illywhacker is one of Peter Carey’s major novels and a sharp, unruly portrait of Australian mythmaking.
