Canberra, Ho! (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Arun, the Indian student, Suniti's travelling partner, and radiating his trademark permanent smile, raises his hand. They wait for him to speak. I would firstly like to ask you, Mr Bull Longmore, what you think leadership is and what skills you think a leader needs?

This is the story about seven flustered bushwalkers, trekking overland from Katoomba to Canberra, leaderless and lost, seven very different people united by the wish to just make it back home...alive.

It could also be read as a handbook on the distinctly Australian art of how we do politics, how we lead and manage as members of a group with a common goal. In fact, if this story became a movie, it could very easily become that movie which screens on the eve of every national election, just to give us some insight into how our leaders behave. And how they shouldn't behave!

CANBERRA, HO!: don's Party meets Deliverance meets All New Australian Outback Adventures!

Autorenporträt

I've been writing pretty much full time for ten years- after I completed a Master of Creative Arts (Prose) at the University of Wollongong. Previously I worked as metallurgist, health food retailer, government bureaucrat, diplomat and entrepreneur.

While my work overseas for the Australian government took me on postings to many places including Europe, Asia and Africa, I like to write about the contemporary Australian experience. I began writing fiction in the nineties, had some short stories published, then put my writing on hold to give full attention to my career.

I'm a taiji enthusiast, avid jade collector, and a keen follower of William Gass and his theory of sentences, that each sentence has a soul, and that all good literature comes from the well-constructed sentence.

I live in near the Royal National Park, south of Sydney.
