Notes

  • Cities and towns in literature.
  • Dedication: For my mother and father who worked so hard to achieve their dream, a home in the suburbs - the home where I grew up and was happy.
  • Epigraph: 'It's an excess of virtue that has produced suburbia, the desire of man not to be a wanderer on the face of the earth, but to have a kingdom of his own.' -- Bruce Dawe
