A boxer set for a comeback. A maverick priest. A CEO. An acrobat. Jana Wendt delves into people's working lives, beginning with the eccentricities of her former job as one of Australia's most well-known television journalists. Wendt follows the successes and failures, the body blows and the moments of wonder, as people go about their business. This mixture of memoir and extended journalism offers a wonderfully observed and entertaining portrait of the nature of modern work.
