Jesus Wants Me For a Sunbeam
Written in an evocative, haunting style, this moving tale of loss and the relationship between parents and child was first published in the collection Little Deaths in 1993. Tailor-made for reading groups, it is a unique publication which includes an introduction by an acclaimed Australian author, an interview with Goldsworthy and room for note-taking.

Honk If You Are Jesus
From the pen of Peter Goldsworthy - a modern champion of the lost art of storytelling - comes Honk If You Are Jesus, a bestselling novel that resists categorisation, and explodes expectations. Keep your hand on the horn during this startling comic fiction.

Wish
Peter Goldswortthy's controversial new novel is a love story like no other. Following in the challenging tradition of Honk If You Are Jesus, Wish is an entrancing and strikingly original work which explores the relationship between animals and humans - just how different are we?

Born to deaf parents, John James ("JJ") has always been more at home in Sign language than in spoken English. Recently divorced, he returns to school to teach Sign. His pupils include animal liberationists Clive Kinnear and Stella Todd, foster-parents to a very unusual daughter who is not deaf, but dumb. It's not long before JJ meets the beautiful, sensitive and highly intelligent 'Eliza', and is drawn into a bizarre chain of events...

Poignantly written with Goldsworthy's distinctive mordant wit and elegance of language, this novel will confirm his reputation as a major Australian author. Woven into the very moving romance of Wish are brilliant explorations of the nature of language, the power of the unspoken word, the ethics of scientific experimentation and the meanings of love.

Maestro
Against the backdrop of Darwin - that small, tropical hothouse of a port, half outback, half oriental, lying at the tip of northern Australia - a young and newly arrived southerner, Paul Crabbe, encounters the 'maestro', a Viennese refugee with a shadowy past. The occasion is a piano lesson, the first of many.

Over the next two years, Paul learns more than he wishes to know about his teacher, and more than he wishes to know about himself.
