Peter Carey: Illywhacker [2014] paperback CGRAP She met liberals and IslamistsAn illywhacker is a confidence trickster, and Herbert Badgery, the 139 year old narrator of this dazzling comic novel, may be the king of them all. Vagabond and charlatan, aviator and car salesman, seducer and patriarch, Badgery travels across the Australian continent and a century in a picaresque novel full of outlandish encounters and dangerous characters.
