Jack Hibberd, celebrated for his sharp wit and theatrical sensibility, presents a narrative that is part memoir, part fantasia, blending sharp social satire with a deep, sensuous love of food, drink, and city life. The tone is gleefully irreverent and richly comic, shot through with the kind of larrikin intelligence that has long defined Hibberd's voice in Australian letters. The result is an epicurean odyssey that illustrates the textures of a city and an era with boisterous affection and unflinching candor.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887875633371,"sku":"2026100006961-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/cedfaf0e-2d40-4920-bf1f-b8cb4d7ed82d.png?v=1781747397","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100006961-secondhand-memoirs-of-an-old-bastard-being-a-portrait-of-a-city-an-epicurean-chronicle-fantasia-and-search","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
