About the Book

#HighlyIntelligent#Independent#Brilliant #Compelling #BeautifullyWritten #Daring #Brave #Original #Innovative Easily the finest Australian Writer around! And one of the very few authors whom it could be said were influential of any era throughout history. One of the worlds best half-dozen writers at this point in time without doubt -and the most influential."The old out-back town of Kalgoorlie has never before been so richly-strangely or so poignantly transcribed by way of prose as it undoubtedly deserves to be, and indeed has been so done in this wonderful memoir of a childhood once lived! -The Age-"Powerful. Compelling. Great prose, Great story-telling abilities, Dramatic. Complex and acutely intelligent are the words best used to convey the breadth and majesty of this undoubted classic!" -Carey Holbourn-Armfield"Bloody Brilliant read! Thoroughly recommended" -5star review since deleted"The old out-back town of Kalgoorlie has never before been so richly-strangely transcribed by way of prose as it has indeed been done in this wonderful memoir of a child's awakening!" This is a somewhat tragi/comical memoir, though for all of that it has no agenda like so many who use their own personal accounts to implore their readership into some kind of political activist mentality usually related to some minorities entitlements or rights. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE BOOKS!! It is meant to be read purely from a literary perspective none other."Bloody Brilliant read! Thoroughly recommended" -5star review since deleted. "Do not under any circumstances read such a book if you happen to be a born and bred pretentious snob. Go read somebody else's book, maybe a book on knitting or gardening or other gentile stuff, even a Barbara Cartland epic!" -Ty Cobb 'Bravo monsieur Hoey, votre livre est éveillé plus superlative et le plus bel exemple de la littérature moderne. Je suis désolé que vous n'êtes pas un Français, car alors je serais facilement rccommend ce livre pour un prix littéraires français de paris. vraiment grand. Encore bravo!' - Thomas Hilloc."An interesting if not provocative little read"-Gunter "Bloody Brilliant read! Thoroughly recommended""Being an Englishman with a distinct lack of taste for the general stereotype of your typical sports-loving boorish Australian, I must say I undertook the reading of this book with a certain amount of trepidation. To my surprise it surpasses anything by any other writer I have read so far [at least within the last five or so years]. And written by an 'aussie'. It is a fine thing then to find out that this nation of the sports obsessed buffoon actually has at its core a much richer life behind the ugly stereotype. Your book reveals these hidden depths of a nation far too well known for its sporting achievements at the expense of other more nuanced options. Beautiful." - Owen Etheridge.
