Description:This is a marvellous tragicomic collection of real life dramas and images from Barry Dickins, one of our most perceptive and original writers and illustrators. We see his mum and dad before Dickins was born, on a bus to Reservoir at the end of the war - 'he with his gorgeous blue eye and his army shirt, she so beautiful in her pineapple print dress'. We walk along magical Collins Street with young Dickins and his dad, watch his nan in Preston flinging lit matches at the gas jet, weep with Mr Greeb, headmaster. Dickins writes of hippy days, the glory of it all, and the horrors at the Albion Hotel - 'I wouldn't go into the Albion now if someone promised me a free weatherboard house and a garden full of children.' Barry Dickins has an extraordinary gift of the gab. He has captured the absurd and the everyday - the pain and the pleasure and the poetry in the life of the artist battler struggling to make sense of it all.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
