No other writer has journeyed further into the soul of Australia and
returned to tell the tale
Watsonia collects the fruits of a writing life. It covers everything
from Australian bush humour to America gone berserk; from Don Bradman to
Oscar Wilde; from Animal Farm to the Australian parliament. Wherever
Watson turns his incisive gaze, the results are as illuminating as they
are enjoyable.
Artfully arranged, Watsonia showcases the many sides of Don Watson:
historian, speechwriter, commentator, humourist, nature writer and
biographer. It also features several previously unpublished lectures and
a wide-ranging introduction by the author. This comprehensive
anthology - replete with wit, wisdom and diverse pleasures - is
essential reading.
