Maestro

A detailed Summary of Maestro

The novel Maestro, by Peter Goldsworthy, who was born in Adelaide and then moved to Darwin to finish his education. Since graduating in medicine from the University of Adelaide, he has devoted his time equally to medicine and writing. He is married to a fellow graduate and they have three children. I believe Goldsworthy successfully explores issues relevant to a society in a different period of time, given the book is set in the 1960's and was not published until 1989. Goldsworthy uses representations of setting and character to give the reader a better understanding of the people places and culture, which surround them today.

Goldsworthy's representations of characters in the novel play a major part in exploring issues from a different period of time as well as giving the reader a better understanding of their own world.

* Keeps himself remote/removed from others by not showing

- Certain feelings or acting kindly

* Lacks the ability to compliment/praise and encourage oth

The character of Paul explores many of the same issues as an teenage boy would today- fitting in at a new school

Though to his self-perception- this representation made by Goldsworthy is made to give the reader a better understanding of their own world. That people are not always as they may seem on the outside.

Goodness. This "whiteness" is like holiness. This is a total contrast
