Janette Turner Hospital has been called by the Times Literary Supplement 'one of the most powerful and innovative writers in English today.' Oyster has received critical acclaim internationally, and was shortlisted for the prestigious Miles Franklin Award and the National Book Award in Australia. Outer Maroo, a small, opal mining town in the Australian outback, is stewing in heat, drought, and guilty anxiety. Some ghastly cataclysm has occurred on the opal fields, but this is a taboo subject. At the heart of the mystery is the cult messiah, Oyster, dressed in white, sexually compelling, and preaching the end of time.
