Death of a River Guide, Richard Flanagan's debut novel, is widely regarded as a classic in Australian literature.Beneath a waterfall on the Franklin, Aljaz Cosini, river guide, lies drowning. Beset by visions at once horrible and fabulous, he relives not just his own life but that of his family and forebears.
