1 The Beginner's Guide to Being an Australian : John O'Grady's They're a Weird Mob Lindsay Barrett , 2012 single work criticism
— Appears in: Republics of Letters : Literary Communities in Australia 2012; (p. 239-247) 'Lindsay Barrett interrogates the remarkable effectiveness of Jon O'Grady's They're a Weird Mob - Australia's most popular novel of the 1950s - in negotiating for middlebrow Australian readers the tensions that had arisen between an older version of the 'imagined community' and the new, physical community brought into being by postwar migration. In this sense, Barrett argues, it was 'an intensely ideological work of fiction'. (Kirkpatrick, Peter and Dixon, Robert: Introduction xviii)
