Bought this after indexing this blog and remembering 177 & 8. Didn’t enjoy it at all, 2 obscure narratives about young men in Australia running in parallel, so odd numbered chapters about character 1, even numbers about 2.
2 was set in the Korean/Vietnam wars, 1 possibly contemporary. The 2 men were possibly connected (some common surnames) but this was as far as I could make out any connection. Stories were episodic and without clear drive or narrative purpose. But maybe I misunderstood them.
