Set in the precariously settled coastal town of Desperance, Carpentaria is the
unforgettable portrait of the powerful Phantom family, leader of the Westend
Pricklebush people, and its battles with old Joseph Midnight's renegade
Eastend mob on the one hand, and the white officials of Uptown and the
neighbouring Gurfurrit mine on the other.
By turns operatic and surreal, Wright's stunning and richly imagined
storytelling is a blend of myth and scripture, farce and politics. Her
extraordinary characters - Elias Smith the outcast saviour, the religious
zealot Mozzie Fishman, the murderous mayor Stan Bruiser, the moth-ridden
Captain Nicoli Finn, the activist and prodigal son Will Phantom, and above
all, the rulers of the family, the queen of the rubbish-dump and the fish-
embalming king of time, Angel Day and Normal Phantom - stride like giants in
this storm-swept world.
