Jacket: Worn/faded, no tears
Pages: Tanning and foxing , price clipped

A sharp and witty work of Australian fiction, Rappaport chronicles the misadventures of its eponymous protagonist — a bumbling, endearingly hapless everyman navigating the absurdities of modern life with comic ineptitude. Morris Lurie brings his signature satirical eye to bear, illustrating the gap between human aspiration and reality through a series of humorous, episodic encounters that are as poignant as they are funny. The narrative presents Rappaport as a lovable anti-hero whose failures and foibles serve as a gentle but incisive commentary on identity, ambition, and the everyday indignities of existence. Written with Lurie's characteristic lightness of touch and dry wit, the novel stands as a celebrated example of Australian comic writing from the latter half of the twentieth century.
