A candid and entertaining memoir, Luck's A Fortune chronicles the remarkable life of David McNicoll, the influential Australian journalist and long-serving editor of *The Bulletin* magazine. With wit and sharp observation, McNicoll recounts his decades at the heart of Australian media, offering an insider's perspective on the personalities, politics, and press culture that shaped the nation through much of the twentieth century. The narrative presents a vivid portrait of a media landscape now largely transformed, populated by larger-than-life figures from journalism, politics, and public life whom McNicoll encountered across his storied career. Written with the self-deprecating humor and directness of a seasoned newsman, the autobiography illustrates how ambition, timing, and no small measure of good fortune combined to place one man at the center of Australian public discourse for generations.
