Hal Porter was born in Victoria, Australia , "missing Edwardian babyhood by nine months." The eldest of 6 children, from a family of modest means. He relates his journey from baby to man with a self absorbed honesty. "I crawl. The Titanic sinks. I stand. The Archduke is assassinated at Sarajevo, and I walk at last into my own memories.." Memories of early school days, of early sexual experiences, of the fragility of life. Although not the style of book I would normally like, I could certainly appreciate the quality and honesty of the writing nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Recreating the rhythms of small-town life between the wars, it covers the author's first two decades. From the sensuality of his early boyhood experiences, Porter travels ever-observantly through his Bairnsdale school years to his first job as a cadet reporter. The shock of his mother's death, however, disturbs the pattern of his new adventures as a teacher, art student and actor in Melbourne. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
