Description

The Memory Room
by Christopher Koch.

Penguin, North Sydney, 2008.
Reprint, paperback.

Cover design by Blue Cork.

‘What is a spy? Are they born or are they made?’ With these words Vincent Austin analyses his future occupation. Some spies are made but his kind are born – he is devoted to secrecy for its own sake. Set against beautifully drawn landscapes – at first in Tasmania, then in Canberra and China – The Memory Room is an exploration of obsession, and the nature of secrecy itself.

Condition: Minor creasing and curling at corners of front and back covers, crease down left-hand side of front cover, small tear at bottom of spine.
