A Portrait of Alice is a rhapsodic novel-from-life about being and becoming — becoming an artist, becoming a parent and being in Australia.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In Alice Springs time feels different, so does knowledge, the idea of Australia is in concentrated form. The author meets local and transient communities emulsifying in the town centre, he listens to their stories. It causes him to reflect on what it means to be non-Aboriginal in Australia.
