&quot;Kangaroo&quot; is David Herbert Lawrence&#39;s eighth novel, set in Australia. He wrote the first draft in just forty-five days while living south of Sydney, in 1922, and revised it three months later in New Mexico.&nbsp;<br /><br />The descriptions of the country are vivid and sympathetic and the book fuses lightly disguised autobiography with an exploration of political ideas at an immensely personal level.&nbsp;
