Overview: He is the world’s greatest film director. His characters, his scenery, his costumes―all are authentic, zestful, artistic, artful.
But nobody knows he is the world’s greatest film director. Maybe nobody ever will. For all of his masterpieces are stored in an impregnable canister: the head of the film-maker. Inside his brain, nestling safely, reel upon reel of film, magnificently photographed, brilliantly edited, not a frame of it accessible to the viewing public.
An Unusual Angle is about the making of this great film. It is also the film itself. Here is a blazing epic of stupendous events: four years of an ordinary Australian secondary school. Few would have suspected before that an ‘ordinary’ school could provide the material of rich humour, zany lunacy and near tragedy.
Genre: Science Fiction

NOTES:
This is Greg Egan’s first published novel. About it, Egan himself has said:
For the benefit of those readers who have no idea what the book is about—most of them, I hope—An Unusual Angle is a kind of eccentric teenage loner story with surreal elements. The narrator literally has a movie camera inside his skull. I wrote it when I was sixteen, although I revised it slightly just before it was published, six years later.
It was very big-hearted of Norstrilia Press to publish it, but it didn’t do them, or me, much good. They blew their money. I laboured under the mistaken impression that I could now write publishable fiction; it took me a while to realise that that simply wasn’t true. Quarantine is the eighth novel I’ve written, and the first publishable one. That An Unusual Angle was published at all was really just a glitch.So caveat lector.
The epub and mobi versions of this have been proofread pretty thoroughly over the course of a full week to restore formatting and fix glitches introduced by the OCR, but for the sake of balancing readability with authenticity to the source, only very few typos that were present in the original (e.g. a strange duplication of the fourth line of the first paragraph of chapter 6) have been corrected.
Edit: Minor formatting improvements to ePUB/MOBI (improved indentation throughout and fixed a few incorrect line breaks)
