In The End, Gravity Wins

Gravity Basher

A short and completely offensive account of an Australian's journey to the world Up Over.


Let me begin with an apology.

This book is, at best, rascist and misinformed, and I’d imagine not all that enjoyable to read.
In short, I will offend you, guaranteed.

Disclaimer aside; this is an epic account of my solo journey around the world, which saw yours truly graduate from a snotty, mildly loathsome adolescent, into a sophisticated, urbane* adult – all in the space of three years.

I am now 28 and have nothing more to learn.

PS no doubt eventually this will get picked up for study in school curriculums. So here’s a tip for when you’re dissecting the fragrant prose – look for subtlety. Mad subtlety.

“Did the author mean to be so insightful?”

I probably did.



*Urbane, meaning polished and smooth, as in a person's demeanor being refined; civilised.

ah! Scargirl, it's great to have your opinion! If it helps, I am attempting to balance with self-depracation. And the events are true, unfortunately. As are the opinions expressed, also unfortunately! within reason ; ) view book

G'day John Enjoyed reading your book. A few pearlers and I had no problems with your delivery. In fact I think it adds to the writing to cut the political constraints and serve it up hot. I've just uploaded a book with a similar style, however it's my travel diary taken from a 3yr trip aro... view book

Hi there Enjoyable reading. It's easier to paint in black and white, but a whole lot more meaningful in shades of grey. Your writing of the main character successfully challenges the reader's early judgements. A novel you may like that plays on the same principle is "And the Ass Saw the Angel"... view book
