Measurement

After the death of his younger sister Antony travels south, missing the funeral and leaving behind his partner and child, and accompanied only by his well-thumbed copy of the philosophical text Measurement. This beautifully written novel is a moving meditation on the intricate relationship between life and memory.

Tim Corballis’s first novel, Below, was one of the outstanding novels of 2001: ‘Corballis has created a powerful and convincing suspense story that merits a wide readership.’ —Gavin McLean, OTAGO DAILY TIMES

Praise for Measurement

...for readers of a philosophical bent, it's among the most stimulating books of the past 12 months.
Iain Sharp SUNDAY STAR TIMES

...as a study of human beings living within a landscape, be it city or rural, how they have a relationship with that, and in turn with each other, this deep -but not dry- book shows a maturity well beyond the author's years.
