This famous author has been scalped, and was raised by a murderer

Everyone, he says, has their own experiences of a city, which is why he has called it a biography instead of a history. It’s the places, the spaces, the experiences, the histories that he has selected that make this book as much about Louis Nowra as it is about the former convict outpost and now glistening modern metropolis.“Cities are like human beings; they have their flaws, they have their interesting aspects.

“I was writing plays in Melbourne but they were performed in Sydney. Melbourne has got so much taste they didn’t put my plays on,” he sneers. The relationship, he tells me, finally petered out when Nowra was playing cricket in Centennial Park one day. Sliding to the boundary for a ball, he landed at White’s feet who quizzed him why he would bother about such a banal game and then started a quarrel about the size of his Chihuahua’s testicles.Nowra’s Sydney is bounded by the patch of land and harbour shores that take in Kings Cross, Woolloomooloo, Chippendale, The Rocks, Ultimo and, now, Barangaroo.

As our wine finally comes, I ask if he feels forlorn about the gentrification of the suburb as cashed-up retirees leave their leafy five-bedroom suburban family homes for an inner-city pad.“These people who shifted in, they want to get rid of the injecting rooms, the beggars, the homeless. The mentally ill are being pushed down to Woolloomooloo where most of the social services are. The sex and the strippers have moved out to the suburbs.

He only found out at the age of 21 why his mother never celebrated his birthday. The murder, for which she went to court and was acquitted, took place on that day. For the record, his violent, drunk and eventually murdered grandfather was “as mad as a cut snake” after spending World War I in Gallipoli and “buried alive several times”.

On the other side, Greeny saw Nowra with his scalp draped around his shoulders. They got to the train station to, believe it or not, buy tickets to get to the hospital. The station master took one look and fainted.

This bloke who calls himself Nowra is a fraud. He has written about The Cross with negligent and ignorant self-aggrandizement. In his efforts to appear genuine, he has made up characters and history. I was there. I worked for Lee Gordon, Sammy Lee and Reg Boom, Abe Saffron.
