1 5 y separately published work icon Bad Hair Days Pamela Bone , Carlton : Melbourne University Publishing , 2007 Z1422225 2007 single work autobiography 'Bone was a prominent newspaper journalist and columnist when in 2004 she was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the bone marrow that can be treated but not cured. Dry-eyed, but often darkly humourous, Bad Hair Days describes a journey many baby boomers make - working and meeting the demands of everyday life, minus hair and under the influence of chemo, while, outside the front door, the world seems to be going to hell in a handbasket.'

1 4 y separately published work icon Up We Grew : Stories of Australian Childhoods Pamela Bone , Carlton : Melbourne University Press , 2004 Z1155364 2004 selected work autobiography 'In Up We Grew, award-winning journalist Pamela Bone explores these questions through the prism of her own experience as daughter, sister and mother. Taking as her starting point her own story of growing up in a small town on the Murray River after the war, Bone illuminates the influences that shape us from early life: family, friendships, school. Then through a series of candid interviews she broadens out her investigation, considering how some famous and less well known Australians coped with the death of a parent, divorce, differentness; talent, opportunity, money, or the lack thereof. The subjects of Up We Grew include Mark Latham, Natasha Stott Despoja, Michael Leunig, Max Gillies, and Joanna Murray-Smith. Richly researched, vividy written, by turns nostalgic and unblinkingly unsentimental, this book provides a remarkable insight into how we are tempered and transformed by the process of growing up.'
