Editor reviews
Imagine James Joyce’s Dubliners displaced to the tropical milieu of North Queensland and narrated by a wry, painfully self-aware and keenly perceptive middle-aged "monopod" failure named Leverson and you’ll come close award-winning Australian author Thea Astley’s superb collection of short stories, originally released in 1979, that run the gamut of human emotion and experience in its depiction of a varied cast of island denizens.
James Wright’s soulful performance masterfully captures the subtle undercurrent of optimism and warmth that runs through Leverson’s acerbic observations as well as the mosaic of Australian cadences and eccentric personalities that populate Astley's wonderfully realized Hunting the Wild Pineapple.

Entertaining!
Enjoyed this book, without doubt! Wonderful storytelling, backed up with a variety filled with charm, wit and little hint of humour.
