A Writer on the Rocks

This book is a collection of stories from the author’s memory of former ’devil-may-care’ days of his wild and wayward youth before he gave up the booze. He recounts the many characters he met during his drinking days and the trouble they and he caused in their efforts to enjoy life to the fullest. The plot is centred in and around the bars of the central business district of Sydney known as The Rocks. The writer describes his early drinking career as a prelude to entering the haunts centred around The Rocks during the 1960s. It is written focusing on the humorous side of his escapades whilst mainly under the weather from the effect of alcohol.
