'Ex-garbo Giovanni O’Grady’s ancestry is Celt, with a bit of Italian and Viking dick dipped in. As an ageing straight pale male, he therefore belongs to a dwindling and increasingly irrelevant Aussie majority. Johnno (as he is known) holds some ‘unacceptable’ but often accurate views. Those which aren’t tend to be re-balanced every Monday by his philosopher hairdresser pal Ed Hedland. In Basalt Bay, a former fishing village contaminated by the ultra-wealthy, Johnno rents a caravan park donga and lives as a quite contented malcontent. Then comes an unwelcome medical diagnosis. Yet… unwelcome? Frankly, for a bloke fed-up with witnessing his nation’s wankification, an exit door has swung open.' (Publication summary)
