Description
Wild Cat Falling
Author: Colin Johnson
Hardcover, with dust jacket, good condition. First edition.
Promoted as the first novel by a writer of Aboriginal blood published in Australia, Wild Cat Falling by Mudrooroo is a groundbreaking Australian novel that follows an unnamed young Aboriginal man after his release from prison as he struggles to find meaning, identity, and belonging in a society shaped by racism, poverty, and alienation. Told through a mix of present action and flashbacks, the story traces his troubled youth, petty crime, institutionalisation, and repeated clashes with authority while revealing the emotional damage caused by social exclusion and Australia’s assimilation policies. Written in a raw, lyrical style, the novel explores themes of isolation, rebellion, cultural dislocation, and the search for personal freedom, and is regarded as a landmark work in Australian literature for its portrayal of Indigenous experience in modern Australia.
