Alister Kershaw was a member of the lively crew of poets, painters, musicians
and marginal madcaps who made up Melbourne's artistic avant-garde in the
Thirties and Forties. In this book he recalls some of the people he knew in
those distant heydays.
Here are Albert Tucker and James Gleeson, who were savaged by Kershaw in a
notorious satirical poem but who later became good friends of his. The youthful
Max Harris is depicted with affectionate irony although his fellow publisher
John Reed gets thoroughly roughed up, as does the Marxist critic Bernard Smith.
Sir Sidney Nolan's admirers will be scandalised by Kershaw's disrespectful
attitude, in marked contrast to his admiration for Adrian Lawlor - writer,
painter and sublime eccentric.
