He lived there for 3 years, moving from Brisbane to Perth in a souped-up station wagon. 30 years later, he returned to retrace his steps; this is a memoir, travelogue, rant, paean, elegy, and perhaps the closest thing to an autobiography that Niall Griffiths will ever write.… (mer)

Certainly not his strongest work - as an author known for 'edgy' fiction - but a readable travelogue for the most part. . Niall alternates chapters from his initial arrival in Australia as a child with a reminiscent trip with his elder brother, 30 years after leaving - the 10 pound Pom refers to an 'offer' of passage and residency in Australia in the 70's for UK folk. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Pound_Poms). The last chapter though he seems to take a massive dislike of (modern day?) Australia for what appears to be petty reasons and I thought this was unnecessary and certainly seemed a bit OTT. The prose itself when he refers to his childhood is very good in places but only a recommendation for Griffiths fans. (he also mentions his own books appearing in 2nd hand shops on more than one occasion which I thought was a bit micky). (
