Publisher's Synopsis
This is a classic coming-of-age story, a fascinating insight into the making of a man, in this case an Australian man. He takes us on a journey of striving in the endeavour to make sense of life, as so many of his generation did. Thus, is nurtured the artist and philosopher he is today, the searcher for truths and connection with all things sentient and non-sentient, and all people.
His recollections of his childhood transform the everyday banality into a compelling world of revelations and reflections --and embrace life with all its experiences, exhilarating, painful, mystifying and scary, with an openness of heart and inner and aesthetic eye, but also with integrity.
