Longleg is a 1990 novel by Australian author Glenda Adams.[1]
Writing in The Canberra Times Marion Halligan commented: "Longleg is not exactly a cheerful book, or rather, its cheerfiilness is the kind that goes with adversity, just as its comedy is mostly dark. Its visions are frequently bleak, and that is part of its power. I was reminded at times of a black-and-white film whose power and beauty are all the more compelling because of the absence of colour, that the shapes of things, their reality, their luminosity, are best perceived through this medium. And that it is in the shadows and their many nuances of grey that subtlety lies."[2]
After its initial publication in Australia in 1990 by Angus and Robertson[3] it was reprinted as follows:
