A Cry in the Jungle Bar

Robert Drewe's A Cry in the Jungle Bar is a brilliantly observed collection that captures the sticky, complicated Australian experience abroad. Through sharp, evocative prose, Drewe explores displacement, desire, and cultural collision across Asia and the Pacific. These stories pulse with humidity, longing, and that peculiar sensation of being perpetually between worlds. Perfect for readers who savour literary fiction with a visceral sense of place and the complexities of identity beyond familiar shores.
