straya Thomas Lehr disintegrating through being victims ofstraya is a book of hauntings, a parliament of ghosts, public and private, the story of a small town Orpheus lost in the brusque shadows of a land down under. It's a treatise on grief, atrocity and human tragedy seen through the eyes of a bewildered mourner in exile, a travelogue of land and soul unravelling the complex carnage of our redacted histories, a song book of love and hate, of sorrow and celebration, of cold despair and stubborn hope.
