So the experiences seem to be those of the author himself and people he knows; rooming houses, pubs, jail, lowly employment, the Slump, form the backdrop, as well as recollections from childhood. The earlier stories are very short, only a page or two; the longest ("That Summer") almost a novella.
Some pack a punch (I was particularly struck by "A Great Day", where the good clean fun of two chaps going sailing takes an unexpected twist...) With others I couldn't quite see the point. Homosexuality is hinted at throughout, though our protagonists with their 'cobbers' are not averse to female company too.
I came across Frank Sargeson while reading the autobiography of Janet Frame (to whom he was mentor and friend.)
Of varying quality but worth reading. ( )
