Hugh Mackay
On love, longing, ambition and power
Ways of Escape is the fifth novel from the pen of Australia’s bestselling social analyst, Hugh Mackay, and his finest fiction to date.
This new novel delves into the timeless themes of love, longing, ambition and power through the trials of an engaging clinical psychologist, Tom, who is struggling with professional burnout. Through Tom’s relationships with clients, friends and neighbours, Hugh holds up a mirror to suburban life. The result is a subtle mixture of witty, serious and honest insights.
Psychologist, researcher, columnist and broadcaster, Hugh Mackay is considered ‘one of Australia’s most perceptive social commentators’ - SMH. Ways of Escape suggests he is also emerging as one of our most perceptive novelists.
An eloquent and entertaining speaker, Hugh returns after his sell-out 2008 Noosa Longweekend presentation of Advance Australia...Where? to reveal the social insights that inspired this novel.
