Thea Astley has switched from the novel to the short story producing a collection of brilliance in Hunting the Wild Pineapple ... With these eight tales, all set in north Queensland, Thea Astley, a Queenslander, has found her True North as a writer.' Sydney Morning Herald Leverson, the narrator at the centre of these stories, calls himself a 'people freak'. Seduced by north Queensland's sultry beauty and unique strangeness, he is as fascinated by the invading hordes of misfits from the south as by the old established Queenslanders.

Leverson's ironical yet compassionate view makes every story, every incident, a pointed example of human weakness - or strength.
