1 y separately published work icon Diary of a Bus Clown 'The Sandman' , Sydney : ABC Books , 2002 Z1062826 2002 single work novel humour Safely but cautiously grown up and living at the Starstruck Guesthouse, The Sandman revisits his earlier life in a collection of stories centred around his Under-17s football team's end-of-season trip. It's a tradition and a rite of passage: the first trip where they stay at motels rather than being billeted, someone is expected to lose his virginity isn't he? Everyone is expected to get drunk. And on this trip The Sandman makes a significant discovery. The only problem is that, if he discloses it, it won't be his secret anymore. Sandy, as this latest title suggests, is a natural bus clown - not the leader of the group, but the one who entertains the others and performs his funny noises if the 'cooler' players at the back of the bus get bored - ABC website

'The storyline of the Sandman's shared housing experiences is less important than the painful attention to the detailed ruminations of his mental processes, anxieties, neuroses and phobias ; exponential humour in this risible tale.' (TROVE)
