Description

This book is a collection of two halves, each taking you on a journey through time and around the world. The first part is a series of vignettes that bring together seemingly disparate elements - from James Joyce's short-lived cinema to a Bowie-singing log delivery man - all painted with the author's trademark understated humour and careful observation.

The second half of the book responds to Captain James Cook's first voyage aboard the Endeavour, capturing the imaginative power of his journey into the unknown through a squint view of his companions, cultures he encountered, and events that unfolded. This is not a work of biography or history, but rather an effort to explore the human experience in all its diversity.

Remarkable Occurrences is a deeply impressive literary achievement that will leave a lasting impression on those who encounter it. With finely observed moments, striking images, and an assured tone throughout, this collection is a testament to the author's skill as a poet and observer of the world around us.
