Book Synopsis Witch Girl and the Push by : Lyn Gain

Download or read book Witch Girl and the Push written by Lyn Gain and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Author Lyn Gain is, as she notes, "out of the same stable" as Germaine Greer - the Sydney Push in the early sixties. She spent her first sixteen years waiting to find bohemia; the next sixteen years in the bosom of the Push; the next sixteen years in the social welfare advocacy movement; and the last sixteen years as a digital era sea-changer on the Mid North Coast of NSW, with a marginal attachment to academe. She is currently considering her options for the next sixteen years. The Book Witch Girl and the Push is a unique insider story of the Sydney Push, told by someone who was actually there. It explodes numerous myths and misconceptions which have been perpetuated by outside commentators. The book spans over 50 years of social, political and sexual change in Australia, from the late fifties American rock and roll perceived as contributing to a 'moral crisis' amongst 'the youth', to the modern day 'slut walks'. It is a fascinating and irreverent memoir from the present day perspective of Witch Girl, a nickname bestowed on the author as a bewitching 17 year old in the Royal George hotel in the early sixties. Witch Girl is both the heroine and narrator of the book which provides numerous frank, funny and fearless observations and sketches about people as diverse as: Cec Abbott (once head of the NSW Drug Squad); Premiers Nick Greiner and John Fahey; Supreme Court Chief Justice Murray Gleeson; feminist Eva Cox; radical trad, the Rev. Harry Herbert; and a vast array of eccentric Push characters and ex-lovers, as well as state government ministers, left wing unionists, prominent welfare advocates and some alternative life-stylers. This is a many layered book. The author cunningly disguises what is essentially a philosophical treatise as a story of sex, drugs, rock 'n roll and more sex, told in a charmingly frank, no-holds barred style. You will not get any looking down the nose in this tale. What you do get are the big questions, seriously considered, with answers so well pulled together it will leave an indelible impression as well as a way of finding your way through the most complex questions of right and wrong. There is plenty of reference to sex in the book, but there are no sex scenes.
