Lower's iconic novel which took its place in Australian culture, never to be dislodged. Rather like its main character, Jack Gudgeon. Residing in a run-down Sydney suburb during the Depression is Gudgeon - 48, a male chauvinist, an in-debt cynic, layabout and barroom philosopher. His wife, Agatha, having had more than she can take, has finally walked out on him. With Jack - and his equally unreliable adolescent son Stanley - fending for themselves, pandemonium ensues. Full of sardonic Aussie wit and mad capers, father and son blaze a trail of drunken chaos through the city's pubs, clubs, race courses, and their own increasingly battered home. Along the way, they fall in with a wondrous assortment of dubious characters who turn up to enliven the kind of party that Mr. Gudgeon invariably intends to be a "quiet, respectable turnout," but which, somehow, never is. Illustrated by the equally classic cartoonist 'Wep'.
