This is the diary of a playwright who has worked in Australian theatre for more than 25 years. Michael Gurr has written, directed and acted. He's also been a political activist for causes such as asylum seekers in Australia, and worked with the Australian Labor Party as a speech writer. He has won a number of awards, including four state Literary Awards for Drama.
The diary meshes the personal with the political – from the Dismissal in 1975, through the rise of economic rationalism, net culture, and globalisation to the transformed Australia of 2006.
It's a book about faith – searching for it, finding it, losing it, and finding it again.
