A Bloody Good Rant: My Passions, Memories and Demons by Thomas Keneally

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Dust jacket has some light creasing at edges and spine. Interior and binding are also very good.

Thomas Keneally has been observing, reflecting, and writing about Australia and the human condition for over fifty years. In this deeply personal, passionately drawn and richly tuned collection, he draws on a lifetime of engagement with the great issues of our recent history and his moments of discovery and understanding.

He writes with the unbounded joy of being a grandparent and with intimacy and insight about the prospect of death and the meaning of faith. He is outraged about the treatment of Indigenous Australians and refugees and argues fiercely against market economics and the cowardice of climate change deniers. And he introduces us to some of the great and small people who have dappled his life.

Beautifully written, erudite and at times slyly funny, A Bloody Good Rant is an invitation to share the deep humanity of a truly great Australian. (book flap)
