Shadowed Days : Fragments of a Melbourne Boyhood, Garry Kinnane , single work autobiography
'Garry Kinnane's haunting evocation of his boyhood in Melbourne in the 40s and 50s brings to life a struggling family. Frank and Thelma and their two boys, Garry and Ray, are always on the move - from Richmond to Mount Macedon, to North Melbourne, among the homeless in "Larundel", and finally to an uneasy life in Valentine Street.' (Publisher's blurb)
Fare Thee Well, Hoddle Grid, Garry Kinnane , single work autobiography
'In Fare Thee Well, Hoddle Grid, Garry Kinnane continues the story, begun in Shadowed Days, of a young man looking for his direction in life. Having left school early, Garry finds himself at twenty-one in danger of working forever as an insurance clerk in the city. But gradually he finds an escape route—through night classes in literature, the folk-revival, The Push, the attractions of a Bohemian life ...' (Publisher's blurb)
Time of Arrival, Garry Kinnane , single work autobiography

'In 'Time of Arrival' Garry Kinnane tells of a decade of living abroad - Greece, a war-affected Europe, London in the 60s and 70s, his involvement in the student movement, a scholarship to Oxford. His search for direction is aided by friends and the faith of his wife Jo, through the struggle to raise a family in times of hardship, and the ultimate desire to return home to Australia. It is a tale of journey and arrival - at a place, an achievement, a self-discovery.

'This is the final volume of a trilogy that began with childhood in 'Shadowed Days', and continued with youth in 'Fare Thee Well, Hoddle Grid'.' (Publication summary)
