He Died With A Felafel In His Hand

John Birmingham has lived with eighty-nine people and kept notes on them all. This is their story.

John Birmingham invented grunge writing before the term was known. This is the book (together with its sequel, 'The Tasmanian Babes Fiasco') that helped define youth culture in Australia in the 1990s, and still continues to amuse large numbers of young readers, here and abroad. Richard Lowenstein of 'Space Dogs' fame has directed the film, which was shot in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane and stars Noah Taylor and Sophie Lee.
