It's eerie coming across the literary version of yourself, essentially the same person who lived a different life and made different decisions.'My Brother Jack' by George Johnston is a classic Aussie story about family relations, cultural snapshots, responsibility and dashed dreams. It is narrated by David Meredith and is mostly an introspective story but with the constant play of the polarity between himself and his brother Jack. There are many themes contained within but David's shirking of responsibility and Jack's portrayal as the classic Aussie bloke really jump out.I summarised the book as follows. "It him home hard and was maybe even too close to home. I saw so much of my innate personality in David, basically an alternate Kyrin living an alternate life (&amp; I didn't like what I saw eeeep). It reveals the cultural feeling in the air between the two world wars and the ending left me reeling. A fantastic book that is very close to being in my top 10!"As always, I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world. Kyrin out!Timeline:(0:00) - Intro &amp; Synopsis(4:21) - Shirking: An avoidance of duty &amp;/or responsibility(9:59) - Old Mate: What makes an Aussie man?(15:33) - Personal Observations/Takeaways(21:12) - Summary(22:16) - Aussie SlangConnect with Mere Mortals:Website: https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcast/Support the show

My Brother Jack (George Johnston) - Book Review

George Johnston lives in Brisbane and draws inspiration for his writing from the natural world. You could say that he thinks outside the box but he would prefer to say “What box?” He is married and together with his wife they have many adventures bush walking, kayaking and either clambering up a mountain or down a creek. His first book, Into the Storyverse, was published in July 2020. George is encouraged by the good people from Writers Rendezvous, a writing group based in Dayboro. His writing goals include publishing books in a variety of different genres because he can. Blending, bending and adjusting genres to suit the story is his forte. Remember, there is no box ! George believes that stories connect people and to that end he enjoys writing stories for people or equipping people with the skills to tell their own stories, especially people with difficult or marginalised backgrounds. Writing for George is all about connecting together themes in an evocative and fresh way. His writing goes deep into the heart of a story. He plans to publish books on a variety of subjects and in a variety of different genres. His general interests include: Bushwalking, kayaking, canyoning, photography, social justice, local history, environmental issues, and a whole lot more. He loves motor sport, especially speedway. He would say that all good sport should have wheels not balls.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/an-author-angle/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/an-author-angle/support
