Morris Lurie brings his signature satirical eye to bear, illustrating the gap between human aspiration and reality through a series of humorous, episodic encounters that are as poignant as they are funny. The narrative presents Rappaport as a lovable anti-hero whose failures and foibles serve as a gentle but incisive commentary on identity, ambition, and the everyday indignities of existence. Written with Lurie's characteristic lightness of touch and dry wit, the novel stands as a celebrated example of Australian comic writing from the latter half of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48763129987291,"sku":"2026600000504-SECONDHAND","price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/4cce870a-5c72-4f41-a1f1-6b5d36a96508.png?v=1778498957","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026600000504-secondhand-rappaport","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
