1 The Sphinx at the Tavern Table Keith Willey , 1984 single work criticism
— Appears in: You Might As Well Laugh, Mate : Australian Humour in Hard Times 1984; (p. 42-57) Willey compares Lennie Lower with the Czechoslovakian humourist, Jaroslav Hasek, to assist his description of the tormented life that produced two novels and a stream of humorous sketches in the 1930s and 1940s. Willey argues that "Lower's genius rested in his ability to ignore the elaborate political and puritanical superstructure which overlaid and ostensibly gave direction to events, and delve instead into the rich and chaotic human life of the underlying infrastructure of his society".
