Fiction

Richard Somers en zijn vrouw Harriett maken in Australië kennis met nationalisten en arbeiders. Dankzij de charme van de nationalistische leider Ben Cooly, bijgenaamd Kangoeroe, voelt Somers zich tot diens stroming aangetrokken. Maar door zijn achtergrond (zijn vader was mijnwerker) neigt hij ook naar de arbeidersbeweging. Als het tot een botsing komt tussen beide partijen wordt Kangoeroe neergeschoten…

Kangoeroe gaat over een actueel dilemma: moet je vuile handen maken in de politiek of moet je je afzijdig houden om je integriteit en zelfstandigheid te behouden? Lawrence lapt romanconventies aan zijn laars, schrijft lelijk als de wereld lelijk lijkt, maar ook lyrisch over de natuur.
