Summary:In Sydney, acclaimed playwright and writer Louis Nowra author of Kings Cross and Woolloomooloo expands his gaze to explore the dynamism and pulsating sense of self importance of his adopted city. This big, bustling portrait of Sydney is told through profiles of people high and low a cast of criminals and premiers, ordinary folk, entertainers artists, writers, thieves and visionaries. Along with its people Nowra surveys the citys landscape, its architecture and its global identity. And as Sydneys history unfolds throughout the twentieth century and beyond Nowra revels in its neon lights music skyscrapers sense of optimism and the many disparate elements that shape Sydneysiders view of themselves.
