Publisher's Synopsis
'An agreeable and welcome mix of irreverence, wit and absurdity. Here is captured some of the moods and interests that had tenancy in the Whitlam mind - the imperious, the classical, the historical, the rompish, the waggish and the outrageously provocative.' James Killen 'Anyone who has ever struggled to suppress mirth during a church service understands the pleasure to be found in sharing Barry Cohen's witty, irreverent but affectionate anecdotes. Don't tell Gough.' The Hon Kim Beazley '...a lively, frequently irreverent and always amusing read.' The Hon John Howard 'An unabashed romp through the more light-hearted moments of politics.' Australian Book Review Now in paperback, the bestselling Life with Gough presents a larger-than-life Australian - a tall poppy of most variegated hue...Here, from friends, foes and innocent bystanders, is the best of the vast horde of Gough stories, authentic and apocryphal, infuriatingly high falutin and risque, deliciously self-mocking and uproariously funny.
