Winner of the 1985 Miles Franklin Award, The Doubleman is a haunting and atmospheric novel set in the moody landscapes of Tasmania and the bohemian circles of Sydney in the 1960s. The story follows Richard Miller, a man whose life is transformed after a childhood bout with polio leaves him with a vivid, often dark, imaginative world. He becomes entwined with a charismatic and enigmatic guitar teacher, Broderick, who introduces him to the concept of the "Doubleman"—a folk-myth figure from the realm of the fae. As Miller navigates the burgeoning folk-music scene and the complexities of desire and betrayal, the line between reality and the supernatural begins to blur. C. J. Koch crafts a masterful exploration of the power of illusion, the allure of the occult, and the ways in which the ghosts of our past continue to haunt our present.
