Więcej o książce
Forget the limpid, dreamlike views we saw on the television during the Olympics, the paradise of hedonism represented by Bondi Beach and the rest; Sydney is a savage city, as violent in its setting and its weather as it is in its history. This is a brief and heartfelt account of an expatriate writer revisiting his past, examining as he does so the paradox of a blessed country with a bloody, accursed past. Above all, this book is about Australian mateship, and it is the biographies, jokes and stories of Peter's friends and contemporaries that provide the backbone.
