Their Brilliant Careers: The Fantastic Lives of Sixteen Extraordinary Australian Writers by Ryan O'Neill

5.0

What a read! I hadn’t read reviews before I started this - it was recommended by a colleague at work. After the first few pages of the first chapter I was intrigued. Why hadn’t I heard of any of these books or authors? I started googling things and kept coming back to this book. And then I realised that this is a work of fiction. After that I couldn’t stop laughing and reading.
As someone has written in another review, this is best read in order and don’t skip the index. I’ll be recommending this to people from here on in, Australians especially. And now that I’ve finished it I really feel that I need to reread it to catch all the little hints throughout that I missed first time around.
