An unnamed man arrives in a small community with only one purpose in mind: hunting the Tasmanian tiger. The Thylacine, creature of fable and fear, is thought still to be found out there in the wilderness, and this man must find it...
In richly crafted prose, début novelist Julia Leigh creates an unforgettable picture of a damp, dangerous landscape and a man obsessed by an almost mythical animal.
'Leigh writes with taut precision and deceptive simplicity of man's most basic instincts... Leigh's slender début is hypnotically gripping and extremely disturbing. It is not difficult to see why she was picked as one of the 21 writers to watch in the 21st century.' Observer
'Leigh has completely mastered the craft of storytelling, and her evocation of place and time is stunning. A more than commonly gifted writer, she has made a startling début.' Guardian
'There is pain and beauty in this book, both strangely elusive and powerfully affecting, but it seems without obvious intent to tear into the soul of many of the most important issues of our generations... The Hunter is dark, unexplained, enigmatic, that is its force.' Daily Express
