This is the final one for the year – Sydney Students – 3 points for reading, and attending the yarn.
I have a couple of books to borrow or they are easily available online or through the library.
“ A short description –
Wild Cat Falling is the story of an Aboriginal youth, a ‘bodgie’ of the early sixties who grows up on the ragged outskirts of a country town, falls into petty crime, goes to gaol, and comes out to do battle once more with the society who put him there. Its publication in 1965 marked a unique literary event, for this was the first novel by any writer of Aboriginal blood to be published in Australia. As well, it is a remarkable piece of literature in its own right, expressing the dilemmas and conflicts of the young Aboriginal in modern Australian society with its memorable insight and stylishness.”
I am really looking forward to reading and having a yarn about this book –
Please share with your students and anyone who you think you would love to yarn about it.
Please RSVP
Thanks
