On what he calls "the adventure of his life," Howard Jacobson travels around Australia, never entirely sure where he is heading next or whether he has the courage to tackle the wild life of the bush, the wild men of the outback, or the even wilder women of the seaboard cities.

And even as vexed questions of national identity and Aboriginal land rights present themselves, his love for Australia and Australians never falters
