"'...a memoir that is at once dramatic, disturbing, sexually
charged, and often very funny, but ultimately a moving portrait of
a man who has found the inner strength to overcome....' - Paul Ham,
international journalist and author"
This is a complex, virtuoso analysis of an Australian life
written by an unabashed and unrepentant author-an acidic dissection
of the role that genes and environment have in developing a
person's character, as well as a sauntering chronicle of social
analysis.
In turn, we follow the life of the author as he comes to terms
with being a disaffected youth, a patriotic but naive infantryman
in the Vietnam War, and an alienated, disabled veteran struggling
with male status anxiety-apparently inexhaustible in its capacity
to cause suffering. Along the way, Tate examines the dark crevices
of the male psyche as he battles inner demons and the unconditional
love of his beautiful Christian wife, Carole.
Above all, this memoir is a celebration of the human condition
and of a man with a can-do, cavalier attitude to life and his
desire to rise above mediocrity.
An outstanding contribution to Australia's rich heritage of
memoir.
