Description
Arnold Zable applies his lyrical sensitivity and respect to this collection highlighting human compassion and resilience.
Ranging from remote provinces in China and Cambodia to pre- and post-war Yiddish Poland, Kurdish Iraq and Iran, and Indigenous and present-day Melbourne, Arnold Zable's quartet of stories depicts the ebbs and flows of trauma and healing, memory and forgetting, the ancient and the contemporary. And ever-recurring journeys in search of belonging.
In The Watermill, the stories capture the essence of journeys both physical and emotional, encapsulating a search for belonging across diverse landscapes and cultures.
