Top Five Peter Carey Books
(I discovered Peter Carey in January of 1993 with the Vintage International edition of A Fat Man in History, a collection which remains immensely important to me and was, in many ways, my introduction to contemporary literary fiction. Here are my five favorite books of his, in order of preference.)
Collected Stories (much of which is available in America under the title The Fat Man in History)
Bliss
Oscar and Lucinda
True History of the Kelly Gang
Jack Maggs
