Threaded throughout are significant social and political events - both in Australia and internationally - which contributed to the changing character and 'coming of age' of post-war Australia.
Autorenporträt
Kerry Klineberg was born in Sydney in 1948, educated at Sydney University and moved to Melbourne in 1971, where he married. He has two children and two grandchildren. His diverse career spanned the public and private sectors, from industrial relations to the arts and cultural sector. Common to all his employment was the development and advocacy of public policy. His first two novels are completely different. They share no common theme, characters nor time and place. These distinct stories are not the stories of heroes, but of ordinary people, leading ordinary lives, battling their demons and extraordinary events they face along the way.
