Secondhand, Paperback. [Author], [Publisher]. NB: This is a secondhand book in very good condition. See our FAQs for more information. Please note that the jacket image is indicative only. Author: Peter Blazey Format: Paperback Number of Pages: An incisive, provocative and witty chronicle spanning five decades of Australian politics, journalism, gay activism and the arts, 'Screw loose' is a unique autobiography by one of this country's more controversial larrikin figures. Ex Scotch boy, biographer of Bolte, and discoverer of 'The secret diary of Jeffrey Kennett (aged 45 1/4)', Peter Blazey recalls many episodes of sex and romance as a hormonal young man in the painfully conservative middle-class suburbs of fifties Melbourne. These "uncalled-for-memoirs" cover Blazey's trail from his wealthy upbringing in Victoria to the brink of poverty in Europe; stints in London, New York and Hollywood (where he lived it up in Barbara Stanwyck's old mansion); stories from his years as a "political bisexual" (he worked for both Liberal and Labor governments); and a personal account of the riot that would become Sydney's first Mardi Gras parade. Interspersed with these often hilarious accounts is the more sobering reality of Peter's illness and the changes in his life which have occurred since he contracted HIV in 1980. A series of diary entries, including excerpts from Peter's last months in hospital, make up the final chapter of the book as well as an epilogue by his partner of the last six years, Tim Herbert.

Hardback. Peter Blazey, The Jacaranda Press. Condition remarks:Book: Good Jacket: Wear and tearPages: Good Markings: No markingsA landmark work of Australian political biography, Bolte: A Political Biography chronicles the life and career of Sir Henry Bolte, the longest-serving Premier of Victoria, who dominated the state's political landscape from 1955 to 1972. Peter Blazey presents a sharp and unflinching portrait of a man who was simultaneously a shrewd political operator and a deeply polarising public figure, known for his staunch conservatism, his fierce opposition to Labor, and his controversial role in the hanging of Ronald Ryan - the last man executed in Australia. Written with journalistic precision and a keen analytical eye, the biography uncovers the contradictions at the heart of Bolte's character: the plain-spoken farmer from Skipton who wielded power with remarkable cunning and longevity. Blazey illustrates how Bolte's tenure reshaped Victoria's economic and social fabric, making this an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the forces that shaped modern Australian conservatism.

paperback. Condición: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these).

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Screw Loose is the remarkable autobiography of Peter Blazey (1939-1997), one of Australia's most colourful and outspoken public figures. First published by Picador in the year of his death and now reissued in a second edition by Gazebo Books with a new foreword by former High Court Justice Michael Kirby, this is a memoir of extraordinary candour and wit.Blazey traces his life from a post-war Melbourne childhood and his formative years at Scotch College, through his career as a journalist at The Australian, his role as press secretary in the Whitlam Government, and his emergence as a prominent figure in Australia's Gay Liberation movement. He stood as the Gay Liberation candidate in a 1978 NSW by-election and wrote extensively for publications including the National Times, the Weekend Australian, and the gay magazine OutRage.Written with savage humour and unflinching honesty, Screw Loose captures the social and political transformations of Australia across five decades - from the repression of the 1950s to the AIDS crisis of the 1990s.
