The Wild Dogs by Peter Skrzynecki

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges.

Short stories set amongst migrants in post-World War II Australia. They tell of growing up, adolescent sexuality, the power of knowledge, and the quiet heroism of families. The title story tells of a small boy's friendship with a grown man in a rural refugee camp.

Although the stories' settings are predominantly migrant, their themes touch all of us.
