Synopsis
A fond look back at dropping out in ’80s Melbourne
"Given his experience, it's no surprise to find he can write." – Caroline Overington, The Weekend Australian
"It's almost like a time-travel novel." – Ben Lindner, host of books podcast Beyond The Zero
Fans of Helen Garner, Tim Winton or John Birmingham may appreciate this finely crafted chronicle of a misspent youth and an unwilling journey to a midlife epiphany.
A curmudgeonly editor on a chain of free newspapers is forced to reflect on his progress. Was he living the dream when he was jobless and broke, and writing stories about getting high with his housemates?

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. It is crunch time for the fastidious copy editor Seamus Cullen, who decades earlier had lived very differently. Failing at work and required to take leave, he finds solace in memories of his freewheeling twenties, and pursues them back to a present that's subtly altered.His crisis has followed the death of a friend, the masterful doctor who set him up with his belated first love - and whom he had mocked for his resistance to getting loose in warm company. This sudden departure has unsettled him more than he can easily admit.Seamus bolsters his recollections with contemporary sketches he had made of his share-household life, some of whose characters remain in his orbit. In this refreshing, often funny story about pleasure and choices, he traces the proceeds of their bargains with ambition and reconsiders his own. A fastidious editor has been thrown into crisis by the death of a friend from his bohemian twenties. In this often funny story about pleasure and choices, he traces the bargains former playmates have made with ambition and reconsiders his own. This item is printed on demand.
