Please join us at 8:30 P.M. (EST) on December 13th, 2014 (0130 December 14th (GMT))in #readers_corner, for a discussion of the short story No Hero at Home  by Jon Cleary.  

 

Jon Cleary is a well known Australian author best known in America as the writer of the novel The Sundowners made into a movie staring Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr.  This short story was published in a newspaper in the late 40's or early 50's, shortly after the end of the Second World War.  Nan provided an .rtf text file of the newspaper article and we have also converted that text file into .pdf format for your convenience.  Both the .rtf and .pdf versions of the story are attached below.

 

I think your will enjoy the tale, and our Australian chatters will be able to enlighten us as to the cross-cultural situation described in the story.
