An Unauthorised Memoir.
It's 1966. Sydneysiders are whipping themselves into a frenzy, determined to outdo Melbourne in their preparations for the four-hour visit of the president of the US of A himself, Lyndon Baines Johnson. Miles of bunting, ticker-tape parades - and an official slogan, "Make Sydney Gay For LBJ".
And this time, Charlie, the hero of 'Precious Bodily Fluids', is a not-so-sweet sixteen. The hormones are pumping and he is desperately trying to join the burgeoning sexual revolution from the frustrating confines of a Catholic boarding school for boys.
Life is one long muck-up day for Charlie and his mates as they repeat the leaving certificate. Then a double tragedy strikes and Charlie leaves school - and boyhood - behind forever.
