Displaced Person
(eBook)
Description
DISPLACED PERSON Before virtual worlds challenged reality and before parallel dimensions swallowed small towns, there was the greyworld of Displaced P Graeme Drury is fading - literally. At first, it's subtle: a waitress forgets his order, a tram conductor overlooks his ticket. But soon, his world turns grey, silent, and paper-thin. His parents don't see him. His girlfriend vanishes into shadow. Graeme is vanishing, too. Slipping into a chilling, liminal space where nothing feels real, and no one remembers he ever existed. First published in 1979, Displaced Person is a resonant exploration of identity, isolation, and the shifting fabric of reality. In this quietly unsettling novel, acclaimed Australian writer Lee Harding depicts a world in which the familiar becomes unrecognisable, and presence itself begins to unravel. With its atmospheric tone and psychological depth, the novel speaks to a timeless unease - one that feels especially relevant in today's age of disconnection. A recipient of the Alan Marshall Short Story Award in 1978 and the Australian Children's Book of the Year Award: Older Readers in 1980. Displaced Person returns in this digital edition to invite new readers into its shadowy, unforgettable landscape.
