Produktbeschreibung
In Sydney, acclaimed playwright and writer Louis Nowra - author of Kings Cross and Woolloomooloo - expands his gaze to explore the energy, beauty, vulgarity, dynamism and pulsating sense of self-importance of his adopted city. This big, bustling portrait of Sydney is told through a cast of criminals and premiers, ordinary folk, entertainers, artists, thieves and visionaries. Along with its people Nowra surveys the city's landscape, its architecture, and its global identity.

'Nowra captures the everchanging spirit of what is arguably - to most, inarguably to Nowra - Australia's pre-eminent city.' - Books+Publishing
