Reviews

'Appleton's life, told here in such an entertaining fashion, is not only emblematic of the Push but, in many ways, emblematic of a large number of intelligent, sleepwalking urban males who grew up after World War II ... It is a very important and illuminating social and historical document and, because Appleton is a poet, it is beautifully written.' -- Bruce Elder * Sydney Morning Herald *
