Overview

With echoes of Shirley Hazzard and Virginia Woolf, a new novel of startling intelligence from prizeā€“winning author Michelle de Kretser, following a woman looking back on her young adulthood, and grappling with the collision of her emotions and her values


In the late 1980s, the narrator of Theory & Practiceā€”a first generation immigrant from Sri Lanka who moved to Sydney in her childhoodā€”sets up a life in Melbourne for graduate school. Jilted by a lover who cheats on her with another self-described "feminist," she is thrown into deeper confusion about her identity and the people around her.Ā 

The narrator begins to fall for a man named Kit, who is in a ā€œdeconstructed relationshipā€ with a woman named Olivia. She struggles to square her feminism against her jealousy toward Oliviaā€”and her anti-colonialism against her feelings about Virginia Woolf, whose work she is called to despite her racism.

What happens when our desires run contrary to our beliefs? What should we do when the failings of revered figures come to light? Who is shamed when the truth is told? In Theory & Practice, Michelle de Kretser offers a spellbinding meditation on the moral complexities that arise in this gap. Peopled with brilliantly drawn characters, the novel also stitches together fiction and essay, taking up Woolfā€™s quest for adventurous literary form.
