Description
A Workingman's Cemetery unearths the contents of a small bone orchard in 41 short, fictional biographies. The histories of the interred, from a Hunter coalmining village now gone, are connected by the spectacularly unkempt life of Ronald Borthwick, the village gravedigger.
Over time, Ronald buried almost everyone he knew until he was betrayed by a best mate in a village where solidarity is crucial. This betrayal ultimately drove him to murder-suicide in the cemetery.
