#ThePlains was once described by Ben Lerner as a ‘strange Australian masterpiece’, a novel that ‘can feel less like something you’ve read than something you’ve dreamed’ (The New Yorker, 29 March 2017). Here’s my thoughts on #GeraldMurnane’s 1982 novel.

Favorite reads of 2024. Book Nine.
An artist arrives on the plains to produce a film about the region.
“I'm trying to piece together a plain where nothing exists but what artists claim to have seen…then I'll…begin to look for a new country…places that lay just beyond…”

Photograph by T. Chick McClure of the plains of eastern Colorado. A long dirt road extends into the distance, past a single tree with uneasy grey skies.
The way the road stretches into the distance is uneasy with the grey skies ahead.
I sure know that I feel uneasy these days when it looks like there's just one way to go... forward... through an awful storm. Can we instead, turn around and go back to pre-2015?

…I lifted my own camera to my face and stood with my eye pressed against the lens and my finger poised as if to expose to the film in its dark chamber the darkness that was the only visible sign of whatever I saw beyond myself.

…the years when the man and his wife went on standing at their separate stations (she near the western windows of the library…and he in a walled courtyard…) and each behaved as though there was yet time to hear from the other….

Have I forgotten one of the commonest qualities of plainsmen- their stubborn refusal to allow that the unfamiliar has any claim on their imagination simply because it is unfamiliar?

It was as though each plainsman chose to appear as a solitary inhabitant of a region that only he could explain.

The poet-philosophers of the plains (and every plainsman is one) know that the plains are unknowable in their totality, and are therefore charged with possibility….

Twenty years ago, when I first arrived in the plains, I kept my eyes open.

The plainsmen’s heros…the man who went home every afternoon for thirty years to an unexceptional house…sat late into the night deciding on the route of a journey that he might have followed for thirty years only to arrive at the place where he sat…
