«In the Land of Oz» is Howard Jacobson's travelogue, published by Penguin Books in paperback (400 pages, in English).
Jacobson travels across Australia without a fixed plan and recounts with humor his encounters with the outback wildlife, the inhabitants of the interior and the women of the coastal cities. He joins celebrations at Uluru, argues with racists in Kimberley, shares parties with winemakers in the Barossa and surrenders to dancers in Perth.
The first edition appeared in 1987 with Hamish Hamilton; the present edition is from 1988.
Suitable for readers interested in travel literature and in the ironic portrait of Australia.
Howard Eric Jacobson is a British novelist and journalist. He writes comic novels that often revolve around the dilemmas of British Jewish characters. He is a Man Booker Prize winner.
