AWW21 Suburban Dreaming - Geoff Goodfellow and Christopher Raja

The suburb looms large in the physical and imaginary landscape of
this country, a loaded repository of hopes and aspirations. In
his long anticipated memoir, Out of Copley Street: A Working
Class Boyhood, Geoff Goodfellow deploys clear lucid prose to
describe the South Australian suburbs that forged him.
Christopher Raja was eleven when he settled in the Melbourne
suburbs, a world away from the teeming streets of Kolkata from
whence he came. He describes the culture shock and the life he
built in Into the Suburbs: A Migrant’s Story.
