The Life That I Have Led

Published in 1986 by Fine-Lit.

 

Philosophers, visionaries and poets, and survivors, doctors, children, adolescents and mimes among a host of others discover God, love, truth, terror, identity and self as far afield as New York, Venice and Curacao, no less than at home, at St Kilda Beach, at a New Year’s party, or under a circus-top, in a surgery or along the common thoroughfare – sixteen more strong, sensitive, penetrating stories by a writer recognised as a disciplined master of his craft.
