«Redback» is the novel by Howard Jacobson, published by Black Swan in 1987 in paperback (367 pages, in English).
Karl Leon Forelock, an Englishman from Partington, travels to Sydney on a CIA scholarship to educate Australians. He soon finds that some locals believe they have an education to offer him: through several women he receives experiences both painful and pleasant, while on the high plains of Bogong the redback spider bides its time.
For readers of social satire and acid humour; the cover features a quote from the Sunday Times describing Jacobson as «the most dangerously funny writer in the English language».
