single work
criticism
(p. 21-39)
'On the bus to Derby the drivers went through their usual dispiriting routine, mobile toilets, knickers round the ankles, no poofters in the rest area. It occurred to me as I dozed that there was an article to be written dealing with the problems most frequently associated with Aborigines - alcoholism, unsociable behaviour, an inability to be assimilated into polite society, irrational aggression, and so on - except that the subject of the article would be the white Australian male, not the Aborigine.'

single work
