A tour de force of a memoir in an unmistakably Australian voice. Often humorous and with a heart for the underdog, Fragments From a Forgettory is also a kind of love story. This cornucopia of reflection, comment and humorous insight is good-humoured, witty and sometimes opinionated as it draws the reader into the Australian experience from the beginning to the present. A spiritual journey of a kind, recorded via a cascade of personal thoughts, wry insights and slyly humorous musings, offered always in a kindly, invitational tone. A compelling read about an astonishing Australian life that is also a journey through half a dozen of the non-native tribes of Oz, told against the historical backdrop of a British and Irish convict underclass creating an often-envied antipodean democracy.
