1 7 y separately published work icon Jack Davis : A Life-Story Keith Chesson , Melbourne : J. M. Dent , 1988 Z109336 1988 single work biography

Chesson had first met Jack Davis in 1970 through his wife, when she was a member of the Executive Committee of the Aboriginal Advancement Council. It was in the late 1970s, that Jack Davis was approached by a publisher to write his own biography, Davis been too shy, had asked Chesson to write it. Chesson had transcribed the conversations with Jack on tape during social occasions, and wrote this fascinating history of Davis's life and his work in the literary and dramatic fields; in which the Chesson hope that this book helps to make Jack Davie's life and work better known and appreciated.
