About the Book

Watt, a self absorbed writer in middle-aged decline, has settled into his friends’ house to work on a new novel. But days and weeks go by and he achieves little more than a self-serving relationship with a local woman. His talent for procrastination and passivity reaching a terrible climax as he stands by and watches, frozen, as an old man drowns in the local weir.

‘McLeod confronts the hard issues — love, fidelity, damage — with an unflinching eye. At times chilling, his prose is invariably lyrical and incisive, illuminated by moments so telling they can take your breath away. An exceptional achievement, Man of Water is one of the finest Australian novels of the new millennium’ — Brett D’Arcy.

‘ … told in spare and diamond-hard prose. I was compelled to read to the end at a single sitting’—Terry Lane.
