| author: Barry Dickins | shelved under: Fiction | | date: 1984 | publisher: Pascoe Publishing | | content type: book | description: Barry Dickins, ensnared in the fifties for all time, believes in the personal fascism and beauty of all Australians, sees the tragedy in treacle, miracles in lengths of old tin. God almighty in alcohol he writes lies about truth; jokes about death too much, and is edgy, paranoid and a pretty fair kick of the footy.
The Crookes of Epping encapsulates all of Dickins' obsessions; a fair go, madness and jest of pub talk, the insolence and dignity of working class watercolourists and the belief in life after Australia.
