Johnno by David Malouf Brought back to Australia by the death of his father, Dante is sorting through his father's belongings when he comes across a photograph of Johnno, a long-time friend. The photograph stirs up a lifetime of memories for Dante, leading him to finally set Johnno's story -- which has haunted him for years -- down on paper. An outrageous character of legendary proportions, Johnno is brought to life in all his complexity. The story of his rocky yet intense friendship with Dante, and of their Australian boyhood is told with warmth and humour, brilliantly conveying the experiences of their generation and the landscape of the city in which they came of age.
