AbstractHistoryArchive Description

"The thirteen stories in this superb collection span the period from 1957 to 1996, creating a vivid portrait of Australian life during these years. Dorothy Hewett casts her perceptive eye over race relations, single mothers, communism, dodging the law - nothing is too great or small for her unstinting gaze"--cover.

Notes

  • Dedication: These stories are dedicated to the memory of Frank Hardy, friend and comrade, who encouraged me when I neded it most, and who always called me an anarchist.
