Interrupted Life, An

To turn his three autobiographical volumes, ‘The Education of Young Donald’, ‘Confessions of a New Boy’, and ‘Portrait of an Optimist’ into this one book, Donald Horne has given each volume new strength, creating an impelling story that is a kind of social and intellectual history of Australia, as well as a personal tale of action and reflection. With a sharp eye for social milieux, Horne tells of the fortunes and follies of a talented Australian in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. pp. xv, 812 #1219 (Light age tanning to edges.)
