Driving Miss Crazy

Beschreibung

A rollicking read - Big John McGraw Former sports journalist and racehorse owner Gary Delaney, the protagonist of Too Hard Wrong Spot and Great Barrier Grief, makes a welcome return, while other somewhat dubious characters - we all know one or two - seemingly jump right off the page in this amusing collection of short stories that take readers from Tasmania to far north Queensland, with stops in The Lone Star State of Texas and the manicured fairways and greens of Augusta National Golf Course, the home of The Masters Tournament. Along the way there are car chases, gambling, fistfights, food fights, dates that go sour, whisky sours, risky racehorses, women with legs as long as the Bruce Highway, more gambling, sex workers, plane crashes, medical procedures, and golf outings on crocodile-free courses.

Autor

Former little leaguer, sports journalist, radio host and humourist Marty Shevelove, a money maker for GPs and specialists up and down the east coast of Australia and Tasmania, gave a lot of thought to his latest project. And what better place to pen a novel about baseball than the expanses of northwest Tasmania where the site of a baseball diamond is as rare as a 27° day. By all accounts, actually just his own, the die-hard New York Mets tragic, has knocked it out of the park. The author can be reached via email: [e-mail]
