‘One hell of a good yarn.’ Sunday Herald Sun

‘A distinctly Australian voice.’ Canberra Times

‘ What Next You Bastard may well prove to have more

layers of appeal than a mille feuille…a narrative

packed with incident, villains and comedy, There’s

nothing of the victim in Hall. His mother was feisty

and so is her son. A keen appreciation of the comic,

everywhere evident in the story, with a capacity for

lateral thinking that enabled him not only ti hide his

disability but to wreak a poetic revenge on some of his

persecutors, keeps him dancing through the narrative.

His is certainly a story that needed to be told …His

Collaborator McFerran has demonstrated just the right

Kind of literacy to tell the tale.’
