West interviewed men who grew up from the depression era to the 1990s in Penrith, New South Wales and provides a current perspective through the lives of men and boys of the 1990s.
Stories from footballers to policemen, from railway workers to farmers reflect their humour, passions, vitality, wisdoms and longings. They talk of important elements of their lives; being a boy, relating to a father, becoming a man, playing sport and relationships with men and women.
Is it easier to be a man today then it was for our fathers? How different are our expectations of boys? To what extent has relationships changed?
