| Abstract: | "The Garden Book" is the tragic story of Swan, the daughter of the first Chinese Ph.D. in Australia, a
formidably erudite man who, in the xenophobia of the great depression years, is unable to
keep even a job as a county school teacher and falls into a terminal decline. Swan, also
highly educated, marries an Australian autodidactic misfit, Darcy Damon, former
prisoner and sailor, who had encountered opium in his travels in China. |
