Publisher's Summary

Sharp-edged, satirical and accusatory, Emerald City lays into the materialism of the 1980s with a razor-sharp wit.

A fast-moving, wisecracking commentary on contemporary urban mores and morals, and the rivalries and passions to be encountered on the road to success. Married couple Colin, a screenwriter, and Kate, a publisher, move to the Emerald City, where fame and fortune are there for the taking, but surprises are in store for them both.

What the critics say

"Emerald City sparkles like Sydney Harbour on a sunny day." (Timeout Sydney)

"It’s Williamson at his sharpest and it’s often deftly funny...his observations on Australia’s cultural cringe and the tensions our artists face ring true." (Daily Review, Crikey)
