What happens to the adolescent spirit when all vestiges of innocence about the
world are foregone, replaced within the grinding sounds of concrete and metal of
the CBD of Melbourne? A place where train tunnels become nesting sites, carpark
stairwells spots to refuel on methamphetamine and hide from predators; where
agility leads you across nightclub rooftops. For a rest, why not ride on the
back of a train as it speeds through the night? The dangers of a decades-long
exploration of risk in the streets of his city is exhilarating.
In these original essays, Dominic Gordon, explores his memories in tight prose
bursting with insight, audacious ideas and dark humour. Excitable Boy is an
immersive experience of what it was like growing up in and around criminal-class
and working-class culture in the inner city of Melbourne at the turn of the
twentieth century.
