'It's been a while since any biography has been so critically mauled as Pat Dobrez's life of Michael Dransfield. Australian reviewers have variously claimed that the book has been in the making for anywhere upward of fourteen years, and it seems they have been fanning glowing coals for at least that long, in order to dump them on the hapless biographer's head.'
