The Doubleman

Christopher Koch's masterwork weaves between 1960s Hobart and the jungles of Southeast Asia, following journalist Richard Miller as he confronts his doppelgänger—both literal and metaphorical. This haunting exploration of identity, friendship, and the shadows we cast is quintessentially Australian yet universally resonant. Koch's prose shimmers with intelligence and a deep understanding of the human psyche. Perfect for readers who love Patrick White, literary fiction that lingers, and stories that blur the line between reality and myth.
