| "Here is a short

Sleeping Giants — Col Choat
| "Jonah is a novel
set in Sydney in the early 1900s. Many of the places described —
Chinatown and Paddy's markets, Botany Road, Sydney Harbour and its
foreshores — are icons of Sydney. The characters — members of the
"Push", rags-to-riches businessmen like Jonah, and battlers like Chook
and Pinky — are just as recognisable today. This novel has been
described as the first great novel about Sydney. It has been the subject
of a television series and has been adapted for the stage. Yet it is
certainly not well-known by the reading public in Australia." |
