The book chronicles Dunstan's observations of Australian society with warmth, irreverence, and an infectious comic sensibility, presenting a vivid panorama of mid-twentieth-century life as seen through the pages of the daily press.\n\nDunstan, a titan of Australian journalism whose career spanned decades at the Herald and Sun News-Pictorial, illustrates the art of the column with a master's assurance — transforming the mundane into the memorable and the local into the universal. Published by Cassell Australia, Supporting a Column stands as both a testament to a vanishing era of print culture and a joyful reminder that great writing can be found in the most unexpected corners of a newspaper. For anyone who has ever savoured a perfectly turned phrase over their morning coffee, this volume will feel like a long-overdue reunion with an old friend.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130835509467,"sku":"2026200011635-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/8f3ea3b6-ee68-442c-a495-02c994aa12a2.png?v=1786590857","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200011635-secondhand-supporting-a-column","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
