 Murray's Performance - R A I N T A X I o n l i n e
Murray Bail is a patient writer, having published just four books of fiction at sixty, a mark almost to be aimed at for its deliberateness.
Elsewhere, Bail states categorically, "Photography: Melancholia." The origin of this complaint can only be guessed: a deep inner anguish over f-stops and emulsions; the artist's revulsion at the banal machinery of vision and its reproductive processes-a kind of unrelenting paean to Walter Benjamin, sung for future graduate students.

Ellen, perturbed at Cave's progress, happened one day while wandering disconsolate among those same trees upon a handsome young man, and though she'd been warned by her father against the seductive stories that men will tell, she nonetheless allowed herself to be enchanted by the wonderful tales the strange young man told her.
His story may draw on old patterns—Ellen views her domain from a high tower, she pricks her finger at a crucial moment, identifying true names is obviously important—but Bail tells an altogether original tale, one transmuted strangely but convincingly from the forests of Europe to modern-day New South Wales.

 RCF - Book Reviews
Australian writer Murray Bail is mainly noted as a novelist, but he’s also produced a small body of short fiction that’s at last available in the U.S. Camouflage assembles fourteen stories (eleven more than the UK edition with the same title, be warned), comprising a tidy overview of his career.
Whatever setting Bail depicts, whether it be a suburban backyard, a competitive office, or a reverent museum, he subtly defamiliarizes it, always making it seem new and often rendering it positively uncanny.
While there’s no mistaking Bail’s voice, several other authors sprang to mind as I read these stories—Penelope Fitzgerald for her compression of ideas, Steven Millhauser for his dreaminess, Robert Coover for his innovation—and what they all have in common is their confident mastery.
