Flaming Margarita : The Story of Paterson Curse
Bok av Michael P Brawn
Flaming Margarita The story of Paterson Curse This is a story of love and loss, failure and triumph. From childhood in colonial Africa to adulthood in Sydney. We experience his meeting with the Swazi King Sobhuza II, the turbulence of African independence, and taste monkey jerky on the pristine beaches of pre-war Mozambique. We share his misspent teenage years in New Wave London and his faltering missteps into adulthood in Dublin. We savour pan fried chili catfish in the claustrophobic backstreets of New Orleans and experience the agoraphobic vastness of Australia. We are there as his marriage and life fall apart in Sydney, and glimpse tendrils of hope in springtime Madrid. Compelling and raw, we are taken on a whirlwind confessional: tragic, absurd and always authentic.
