Character Depth and Humanity
While most of the characters you''ll meet in these pages are far from perfect, and, with all their anxieties, foibles and frailties, a world away from being heroic, they are recognisably human. What they lack in polish or perfection they more than abundantly make up for in inconspicuous generosity and modesty, much too often under-appreciated for the ramifications these quieter graces have on those around them.
Collection of Stories
This is a collection of stories of varying tonalities, spanning an emotional range comprising anything from the gentle My Uncle Dom to the light and playful Reversal, the humorous and, at times, outrageously farcical Dimblewit to the absurd, even grotesque The Bookworm, and again, the dark and disturbing The Visitation. Two pieces among this collection of seven stories, Artist and A Brass Razoo, present us with portraits particularly Australian.
