Tripping with Jenny

3.6/5 ( ratings)

Mudrooroo’s Tripping with Jenny was to be the initial instalment of a series of autobiographical novels. However, the author could only finish the first volume before he passed away in a Brisbane hospital on 10 January 2019, after a protracted battle with cancer. He was eighty years old. Sadly, Tripping with Jenny is now published posthumously. It marks the end of a long and outstanding literary career.
From Gerhard Fischer’s Afterword

This book follows the adventures of a young Aboriginal identified only by his nickname, Skippy, originally from outback Western Australia, the author of a successful first novel, Wild Cat Falling. He and his wife Jenny set out from Melbourne on the overland route to London via Asia. It is the mid-60s, and the book draws a vivid picture of a time of social unrest, and experimentation, of rapid cultural change…
