Billy-oh and Back. "The Best Australian Sports Writing 2002" by Garrie Hutchinson (ed). [review]

Abstract

'Journalism,' according to Oscar Wilde, 'is unreadable and literature is unread.' We could become involved in a debate as to what constitutes journalism, good writing and the not entirely unread literature when it comes to sport. In this anthology, the editor invites us to stop tugging the forelock to the fine literary fellows from Mother England and to celebrate the works and workers we have in Australia.
