Thomas Keneally — Booker Prize-winning author of Schindler's Ark — turns his razor-sharp wit and formidable intellect inward and outward in equal measure, presenting a deeply personal collection of essays that chronicles his passions, memories, and the demons that have haunted and inspired his extraordinary life. From rugby league to Irish-Catholic identity, from the Australian literary landscape to the grand theatre of politics, Keneally argues with warmth, fury, and conviction for the things he loves and rails against the forces he despises, all with the storytelling mastery that has made him one of Australia's most celebrated literary voices. Written with the candour of a man who has nothing left to prove, A Bloody Good Rant is at once a memoir, a manifesto, and a love letter to a life lived with passionate engagement. Keneally's prose is conversational yet erudite, delivering the kind of robust, unguarded opinion rarely seen in contemporary non-fiction. For readers who have followed his fiction, this collection reveals the man behind the novels — and leaves you wondering what, exactly, he might say next.
