As the couple settles in New South Wales, Somers finds himself drawn into the volatile world of fringe politics. He is courted by a charismatic leader known as Kangaroo, the head of a secretive, quasi-fascist paramilitary organization, while simultaneously being pressured by socialist activists. Lawrence masterfully contrasts these intense ideological struggles with lyrical descriptions of the Australian wilderness, which serves as a backdrop for Somers' internal quest for spiritual and masculine fulfillment.
Reflecting Lawrence's own brief sojourn in Australia, Kangaroo is a deeply personal and philosophical work. It captures the tension between the individual and the collective, the allure of charismatic authority, and the struggle to find meaning in a world scarred by war. This novel remains a vital piece of modernist literature, offering profound insights into the political and social anxieties of the early twentieth century.
