Gift

Part of a series that pairs leading Australian thinkers and cultural figures with important themes in life, this biographical essay considers the concept of ecstasy, both its intense joy and delight as well as its power and terror. Compelling and entertaining, this biographical essay includes anecdotes from the author's childhood through his career as a theater director. This account is, at times, bawdy, humorous, and honest.
