Paper Nautilus

A long - overdue new edition of Paper Nautilus , Nicholas Jose's bestselling novel.
Richly evocative of postwar Australian life, Paper Nautilus subtly illuminates the complexities of ordinary people and the surprising powers of the human spirit.
'A disarmingly simple story, told with an elegance of style that immediately adds distinction ... a feat not to be taken lightly.' - Thomas Shapcott, The Good Reading Guide
Nicholas Jose was born in 1952. He currently holds the chair of creative writing at the University of Adelaide and his most recent book is a novel, Original Face (2005).
