A Big Life
Susan Johnson
Billy Hayes is a variety tumbler who dreams his life from the muscles up, an eternally hopeful, innocent, man. This book paints a subtle picture of an Australian artist coming to terms with his place in the world, in an austere, but still imperial, Britain of the 1930s and 40s.
