Transmitters: An Imaginary Documentary, 1969-1984

The Faustus Hexagram #3

by Damien Broderick

Sensual and heartbreaking, epic and ironical, funny and elegant, Transmitters mirrors the changing consciousness of the years 1969 to 1984 in Australia. Broderick provides a rare and witty insight into that period of upheaval with a headlong literary chase through the oddest subculture Kurt Vonnegut never thought of. The novel's hilarious portrayals of schizophrenia and personal tragedy embody Broderick's profound meditations on fatalism and freedom.
