First sentence: In David Malouf's classic novel, Remembering Babylon - a rather unsettling picture of Australian colonial life - a young Englishman, Gemmy, has spent sixteen years with the Aboriginal tribe who had found him as a scrawny, illiterate thirteen-year-old, washed up on their shore, abandoned by the other sailors on his ship.
