Shortlisted for the 1985 Booker Prize.
"Illywhacker is a dazzling comic narrative, from the lips of the 139-year-old Herbert Badgery, the 'illywhacker' or confidence trickster of the title. Overflowing with magic, jokes and inventions, peopled with aviators, care salesmen, Chinamen and impresarios, Peter Carey's (...) novel is a contemporary classic."
