'The mid nineties in Australia were a golden age for literary and art hoaxes - among them Leon Carmen (aka Wanda Koolmatrie). As Leon Carmen's literary agent, John Bayley found himself right in the thick of things. Daylight Corroboree is Bayley's own account of how and why he and Carmen perpetrated the hoax and of the fallout' (Publisher's blurb).
