The Boy Adeodatus: Portrait of a Lucky Young Bastard by Bernard Smith

Bernard Smith is a living legend. Now aged 88, the author of Place, Taste and Tradition and European Vision and the South Pacific is still writing about Australian art, as the review of his latest book on the previous page shows. As part of its ongoing commitment to re-releasing classic Australian titles UQP has revived Smith’s 1984 autobiography, which tells of his life until 1940.
