Shadowed Days
glows with humanity, with an understanding and wisdom born of privation and endurance. -

Fare Thee Well, Hoddle Grid
...this wise and melancholy book mingles exhilaration and elegy ...
The Australian
... [a] quietly moving tale of a working class boy's search for love and life beyond the confines of the world he grew up in.
Sydney Morning Herald
Time of Arrival
...a meditation about travel as a defining part of living: be it living in the Cretan port of Chania, mixing with the local and ex-pat community and learning about writing, or moving to England, going to Oxford and being taught literature along the way. [Kinnane's] description of time with William Empson or attending the lectures of E.P. Thompson are vivid and memorable.
