The Sooterkin | Tom Gilling | 1999 [USED – SC – Out of Print]

Set in early 19th century Hobart Town, The Sooterkin is a darkly comic novel about a convict woman who gives birth to a creature that may or may not be human — a being the colonists cannot categorise and don't know what to do with. Tom Gilling uses the premise to examine colonial society's obsessions with classification, propriety and the fear of the strange in Van Diemen's Land.
