So
WHAT
do
you
RECKON?
Robert
G.
Barrett
There
was
a
time
when
Robert
G.
Barrett
was
'in
his
forties,
out
of
gaol,
out
of
work,
had
three
books
published,
but
was
stone
motherless
broke'.
Political
correctness
had
him
confused
and
he
had
no
desire
to
be
more
literary,
even
if
he
was
the
author
of
books
that
had
been
described
as
'the
scatological
nadir
of
the
pile'
and
'insiduously
revolting...pray
God
they
don't
get
published
overseas'.
Then,
through
a
twist
of
fate
and
good
fortune,
along
came
People
magazine,
who
signed
Barrewtt
to
produce
a
weekly
column
focusing
on
Australian
life
and
its
heroes
and
villains.
'So
What
Do
You
Reckon?'
is
a
collection
of
the
best
of
these
columns.
Many
are
outragious
and
all
are
written
in
Barrett's
highly
popular
and
immediately
recognisable
style.
Together
they
represent
an
often
funny,
always
entertaining
and
uniquely
telling
assessment
of
modern-day
Australia.
