* I wrongly resisted Oscar and Lucinda (1988) for years - just because of that awful original Faber & Faber cover illustration*
* Illywhacker (1985), too, is amazing
* Who would play the role in any film? I suspect Anthony Hopkins (if they did it in time)
* How much does the multi-level pseudo-documentary nature of The True History of the Kelly Gang (2000) owe to forebears, such as, maybe, Wilkie Collins and The Woman in White?
* Wouldn't The Tax Inspector (1991) be brooding - and chilling - as a film?
* Bliss (1981) is just that
* And, yes, I do have some catching up to do - all in good time!
End-notes
* And, to judge from Wikipedia, the original Australian edition.
