THE AUSTRALIAN JOURNAL
THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE Wandering round New South Wales in an old truck, picking up odd job 3, and at the same time material for stories, is a young Australian with a bright literary future. This is J. C. Esmonde, whose first full-length novel, “ Lady Luck,” starts its career as a serial in this month’s Australian Journal. Mr Esmonde, who was' born In Tasmania, and classes himself as a “ rough diamond,” has only recently taken up writing. He spent his boyhood years working on farms and orc/hards, and for' a long time was glad enough to take anything he could get in the way of labouring work. 14 Lady Luck ” is obviously drawn from some of Mr Esmonde’s own experiences on the roads. In addition to the serials, there are no fewer than fourteen complete yarns of all types from humour to romance.
