Hoi Polloi

Hoi Polloi

A great Australian memoir of growing up. In pubs and on the racetrack, his family's love affair with the racing scene and climbing the social ladder, the story focuses on innocence and experience, see-sawing between low-life and high-life, it depicts a mother and a father who are comical, terrifying and unique. It finds fresh and hilarious things to say about growing up.
