A classic of the Australian outback, SUCH IS LIFE is the farcical, tragic reminiscences of Tom Collins, philosopher and rogue.
Such Is Life details the splendidly farcical and tragic reminiscences of philosopher and rogue Tom Collins, and is widely recognised as a defining work of Australian literature, taking its title from what were supposedly the outlaw Ned Kelly's dying words. As Tom drives his team across the plains of the Riverina and Northern Victoria, he gets wildly entangled in the fates of others - like Rory O'Halloran, the two Alfs (Nosey and Warrigal), Mrs Beaudesart and Hungry Buckley of Baroona - recreating the humour, pathos and irony he encountered in his life in the bush.
