A review by yogurtyong
Johnno by David Malouf

This was a quick and uneventful (slightly frustrating) read. On one hand, you can tell how good the author is with his words; but on the other hand, I wasn’t quite sure what the book was trying to say? Was it about male friendship? Was it about Dante reminiscing about how weird Johnno was growing up? The final letter from Johnno would have made more of an emotional impact if we were actually made to care about Johnno a bit more?
