The Trip: An Odyssey - Paperback

by George Papaellinas (Author)

The Trip is the story of Odysseus or Oddy who claims he's as old as Arfstraya itself. He's brain-damaged, demented, deluded or just senile. He is an old beer-drinker who has drunk too much grog in his time; he is perpetually down the local pub; indeed, he just about lives there. Or he's been embittered by all the indignities he's suffered as a Greek migrant to Arfstraya or he's telling the truth and he really is one of the Olympian gods, an immortal, a minor deity, a demi- or semi-god who can even remember the dinosaurs. The Trip traverses Australian history, and features some prominent Australian historical personalities on the way.
