Book Description
The Traveller's Tool is an up market man's man's manual which will find its place next tothe Nivea on every executive's bedside table. When Sir Les Patterson at last agreed to wet his nib and set down on paper his guide for the modern man on the move he made his intention very clear: 'I'm a man's man and I call a spade a spade, so if you're a bluenosed wowser, a raving pillow-biter or a loony old lezzo with a facelike a half- sucked mango, I'd chuck this book away now because in the pages that follow I employ the direct, no holds barred lingo of a serious Australian diplomat at the top of his profession and the height of his sexual powers.' In The Traveller's Tool Australia's most articulate high-flyer lays bare the international lifestyle as he has lived it. The book is not only packed with practical advice, but is also, in Sir Les's own words, 'as funny as buggery'.

Book Description
This book is the first critical assessment of Humphries' entire oeuvre, especially his career as an author. Arguing that Humphries is one of Australia's greatest writers, the author reveals a multi-faceted artist whose success is rooted in the British music hall tradition, Dadaism and grotesquerie. Being Australian has also fundamentally shaped the performer and writer, and the author's defence of Humphries against charges of expatriatism is pertinent to the debate on Australian national identity.
