Summary In this collection, Frank Moorhouse and his alter ego, Francois Blase, are at their mordant best. Their wit, satire and keen eye for detail are finely honed as they travel at home and abroad, savouring the persecution inflicted by bell captains, barmen and tour guides, together with the endless buffeting of cultural differences and Traveller's Paranoia (real and imagined). Moorhouse also makes a solitary journey back to the 1950s, to recapture the rhythms and idiom of school and family life in a poignant account which surpasses even nostalgia and personal memory
